Hamirpur, September 6

A sum of Rs 58 lakh was distributed among 1,128 milk producers at a function organised by the Kamdhenu Hitkari Manch at Namhole in Bilaspur on Sunday. Virender Kanwar, Minister for Rural Development, distributed cheques to the beneficiaries.

While appreciating the efforts of the Milk Producers’ Association, Kanwar said the organisation was doing commendable work in the field of milk products. He said the organisation was honoured with the “Himachal Gaurav” award for its work on the Himachali cow. The state was spending over Rs 4.5 crore on improvement of the Himachali cow. A research centre was established for the purpose in Barog in Solan, the minister said.—OC

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).
