The National Statistics Office (Field Operations Division), Shimla on Friday organised “Anvesha 2.0,” a nationwide quiz competition on official statistics, to mark the completion of 75 years of the National Sample Survey (NSS). The event was held at Rajiv Gandhi Government Degree College, Chaura Maidan, Shimla.

Nearly 50 students from various city-based colleges took part in the quiz. The first prize was clinched by Khushboo Chauhan and Harshita Sharma from Government College, Sanjauli (Centre of Excellence). The duo received a cash prize of Rs 10,000, a trophy and gold medals.

Harsh and Sakshi Thakur, also from Government College, Sanjauli, secured the second position, while Ankia and Sonia from University College of Business Studies bagged the third place.

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).
