Rajiv Gandhi Government College (Kotshera), Chaura Maidan, Shimla, emerged victorious in the 51st Himachal Pradesh University Inter-College Cross Country Championship, held on September 30 at Government College, Sangrah, in Sirmaur district.

The 10-km race witnessed the participation of athletes from colleges across the state, with the Kotshera college clinching the gold. This marks the first time since 1988 that the college has bagged the first position in the competition.

Vinod Kumar, Head of Department (physical education), expressed pride in the students’ achievement, stating: “This victory after 37 years is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our athletes.”

Principal Gopal Chauhan said, “This achievement reflects the holistic development we strive for at our institution.”

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).
