Renowned litterateur and cultural activist SR Harnot will be honoured with the Narendra Singh Negi Highest Culture Award by the Uttarakhand Lok Samaj in September.

The award, presented annually on the birth anniversary of legendary folk singer Narendra Singh Negi, recognises individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of language, literature, culture and social causes in the Himalayan states.

Ganesh Khugshal Gani, a representative of the organising committee, said this year’s honour is being bestowed upon Harnot for his “multi-dimensional contributions in literature, culture and environmental conservation.”

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).
