Hamirpur, February 17

Samarth Thakur of Auckland House School, Shimla, bagged the first position in the country in the second edition of the ‘Fit India’ Quiz competition.

Anurag Thakur, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Sports and Youth Affairs, and Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister for Education and Skill Development, had inaugurated the second edition of the quiz on August 29 last year.

Manoj Awati, Director, Centre of Excellence, Sports Authority of India, said over 61,981 students from 16,702 schools of 702 districts in the country participated in the competition. The National Test Agency conducted the preliminary screening for the quiz in December last year.

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).
