The National Trust under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has appointed Udaan as the State Nodal Agency Centre for Himachal Pradesh for the next three years. The State Nodal Agency Centre provides assistance and coordinates with the National Trust for implementing schemes and activities in the state.

Udaan president Madhuri Sood said to make Himachal an inclusive state, a state-level awareness campaign would be launched soon for the welfare of Divyangjan. “The State Nodal Agency Centre is planning to organise state-level seminars and other related programmes. Divyangjans are the worst affected during the pandemic and there is an urgent need to take care of various issues of mentally challenged children,” said Sood. — 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).
