Solan, April 6

Dr Ravinder Sharma has been appointed as the Vice Chancellor (VC) of Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, by the Governor and Chancellor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar today till a new VC was appointed.

Dr Sharma was serving as the Director of Research in the university. Earlier, the outgoing VC Dr Parwinder Kaushal was given an extension after his superannuation on March 31 but it was withdrawn later following protest by the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad. They had levelled certain allegations on Kaushal and had protested his appointment.

The new VC was yet to be appointed and modalities like constitution of a search committee had been completed while further process was underway.

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).
