“Societies across the world need to change their outlook towards women and more efforts are required in India as well,” said SP Dr Akriti Sharma.

She said this today at a function organised to mark International Women’s Day at the College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri near here, today.

The SP said it was unfortunate that even after 75 years of Independence, crimes against women were on the rise. She laid stress on telling young girls the difference between ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’, besides educating girls to stop child abuse.

College Dean Dr Som Dev Sharma said women should be aware of their rights and they should face challenges with courage.

Dr Monica Sharma, Dr Reena Kumari and Dr Yashashvi Thakur also addressed the gathering.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
