Palampur, February 11

A PhD scholar at Himachal Pradesh Agriculture University (HPAU), Shubham Verma, will undergo one-month advanced training from February 14 to March 20 at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

Vice-Chancellor Prof HK Chaudhary expressed happiness that a research scholar from the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding would get training on precision breeding for drought tolerance in bread wheat. He said the training would open new vistas to develop drought-tolerant varieties in accelerated manner.

Verma will work under the guidance of Associate Professor Dr Dorin Gupta, who specialises in sustainable agriculture. Principal Investigator Dr Ranbir Singh Rana said, “Five scientists and eight students of the university have been sponsored for international trainings under an ICAR project.”.

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).
