Kullu, September 24

President Droupadi Murmu conferred the National Service Scheme (NSS) Award 2020-21 upon Economics Lecturer and Manali NSS unit Programme Officer Dharam Chand at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in Delhi today.

A resident of Galang village at Pichlihar panchayat in Kullu, Dharam Chand had been a Programme Officer since 2003. He was also a member of the NSS Advisory Committee.

He had organised four state-level camps in Manali during 2020-21. He had carried out plantation drives and distributed 3,000 masks during Covid-19 pandemic. He said that the NSS had organised Covid awareness campaign in 10 gram panchayats.

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).
