Hamirpur, January 12

Kangra Central Cooperative Bank (KCCB) will encourage entrepreneurship in the districts under its jurisdiction. Kuldeep Singh Pathania said this on his arrival in the town today after being named as bank Chairman.

Pathania said that he had earlier served the bank as its member, vice-chairman.

Pathania said that the KCCB started its journey in 1920 and had emerged asa major bank in lower Himachal with a net worth of over Rs 18,000 crore. It has over 218 branches in Kangra, Kullu, Chamba, Una and Hamirpur districts. He added that although the bank had huge NPAs it still had earned considerable profits.

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).
