Earnest efforts should be made to strengthen Panchkarma centres to make them ‘Centres of Excellence’, said Industries and AYUSH Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan here on Monday.

Chauhan, while presiding over a meeting of the AYUSH Department, issued directions to explore the possibility of Panchkarma in the hotels of HPTDC with good occupancy.

He added, “The staff should be well-trained for imparting quality treatment to the visitors. Not only will it provide added income but it will also strengthen tourism in the state.” Besides, the department was directed to identify suitable land for developing integrated wellness centres in the state.

The minister directed that the proposal for converting Rajiv Gandhi Government Post Graduate College, Paprola, into All-India Institute of Ayurvedic Medical Sciences should be expedited.

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).
