In a gesture of solidarity, Kadhambari S Viswanathan, Assistant Vice President of Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Bhopal, has donated 2,45,92,500 Myanmar Kyats (equivalent to INR 10 lakh) for relief efforts following the recent devastating earthquake in Myanmar.

The contribution was made on behalf of VIT-Bhopal and formally handed over to His Excellency Zaw Oo, Ambassador of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, during a meeting held at the Myanmar Embassy in Delhi.

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).
