Hamirpur, January 27

To encourage cultural activities in the district, the government has proposed to construct a multi-purpose building at a cost of Rs 25 crore.

This was stated by Govind Thakur, Education Minister, while addressing people on the occasion of Republic Day here yesterday. He said the proposed building would have an auditorium, museum, art gallery, writers’ home and a library. He said the Art and Culture Department was working for the protection and development of historical temples and heritage buildings in the district and the state as well.

He said development and making youth self-reliant were priorities of the government and Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had taken skill development as a mission. He said 25,179 youth were provided skill development training in the district by spending over Rs 26.88 crore.

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).
