Solan, January 7

Chinmayee Awasthy (23) has done Solan proud by bagging a scholarship for a doctoral programme from Belgium-based Ku Leuven University, ranked 45th globally.

She will pursue research on human fungal pathogens with a focus on candida species.

With a strong molecular biology background with expertise in cloning and transformations, she also has a Felesa B certificate allowing her to work with animals. Chinmayee will get a monthly basic amount of Euros 1,600.

She is the eldest of the two siblings and her younger sister is pursuing law. Her father Sanjay Awasthy said it was a proud moment for the family as his daughter had been chosen for this global university on the basis of her hard work and determination. — TNS

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).
