Padma Vibhushan Dr Raghunath A Mashelkar, National Research Professor and former Director General of the CSIR, today delivered the keynote address on the occasion of the 39th foundation day of CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur, through virtual mode.

Mashelkar, who is also the chairman of National Innovation Foundation, delivered a lecture on the topic “Innovation Leadership: Learnings from a Personal Journey”. Dr Sanjay Kumar, Director, CSIR-IHBT, said the institute was providing end-to-end agrotechnology to farmers for cultivation of asafoetida and saffron and playing a significant role in cultivation of floral and aromatic crops, besides honey production. These crops are expected to play an important role in doubling the farmer’s income. — TNS

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).
