Palampur, February 23

A workshop on women empowerment was organised at the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT) in Palampur today. The event is being held under the “One Week One Laboratory” programme.

Kangra Settlement Officer Gandharva Rathore was the chief guest. She spoke about how women can become self-reliant by joining the National Rural Livelihood Mission. She urged women to adopt the technologies developed by CSIR- IHBT for empowering themselves. Over 120 women from various self-help groups of the state participated in the event.

Principal Scientist Dr Pamita Bhandari gave information about technologies developed by the institute and made a presentation about their benefits. Three technologies on natural colours and dyes, value addition from dried flowers and herbal incense were also demonstrated.

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).
