NURPUR, MARCH 21

The Nurpur Blood Donors Club (NBDC) has received the International Life Saver Award for collecting 353 blood units at a camp on March 23 last year. The Club has also been felicitated with the World Book of Records London by the National Forum of Artists and Activists (NIFAA). Governor Rajindra Vishwanath Arlekar honoured NBDC president Rajiv Pathania and general secretary Gulab Thakur with these awards at Dharamsala at a ceremony organised by the NIFAA on Sunday evening.

The forum had motivated volunteers and organised 1,476 blood donation camps across the country on the martyrdom day of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev under its ‘Samvedna Campaign’and collected 97,744 units in one day.

Pathania thanked members of the NBDC and blood donors of the area.—

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).
