Shimla, June 22

A district-level workshop was held under the ‘’Mukhya Mantri Bal Suposhan Yojna’’, to spread awareness about malnutrition and stunting among the children in Theog on Tuesday.

Women and Child Development (WCD) Director Rupali Thakur presided over the workshop. Thakur said the scheme focuses on seven approaches, which are early detection and treatment of diarrhoea, intensified monitoring and care of high risk groups, addition of protein rich food for high-risk children and improved feeding practices, interventions for anaemia in children and adolescent girls, detection of high-risk pregnancies, treatment and follow up of malnourished children and social behaviour change strategies.

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).
