Kumud Singh, Director, Department of Agriculture, said the objectives of the programme included encouraging the use of modern technologies and inputs in agriculture, increasing crop production and improving farmers’ income, promoting soil health management and conservation and promoting digital agriculture and use of technology in farming.

The programme will be implemented in all districts of the state, with a team of experts and officials from various departments, including agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry reaching out to the farmers.

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).
