The state government is encouraging natural and organic farming to boost the economy of farmers and orchardists in the state, said Rajesh Dharmani, Technical Education Minister, while addressing a gathering at the Kisan Mela organised by the Agriculture Department under the aegis of the ATMA project in the Ghumarwin Assembly constituency.

Dharmani said that under the ATMA project, Rs 1.27 crore would be spent in the current fiscal year and over Rs 80 lakh had already been spent. He added the government was providing 50 per cent subsidy on the purchase of indigenous cows and transport expenses up to Rs 5,000.

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).
