Shimla, March 15

State Commissioner of Bharat Scouts and Guides, Himachal Pradesh Amarjit Sharma called on Governor, Shiv Pratap Shukla, who is chief patron of Bharat Scouts and Guides at Raj Bhavan here today.

The Governor said, “Bharat Scouts and Guides not only works for character building and skill development among the students but also inculcates the spirit of service. Today drug addiction is a major problem in the society which is affecting the young generation.”

He added that to deal with this problem, every individual and organisation should work with determination and dedication. The teachers associated with Bharat Scouts and Guides also needed to spread awareness among the youth against drug abuse.

He emphasised on expanding the membership of the organisation so that more and more students could join and work with it.

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).
