Srinagar, February 21

Sericulture Director Ajaz Ahmad Bhat today undertook a visit to the tribal areas to create awareness about the facilities and incentives being provided by the department to silkworm rearers, a government spokesman said.

Bhat told people in the tribal areas of Kangan that silkworm rearing, being an in-house practice, didn’t require large space, making it accessible and advantageous for both general and landless farmers. Bhat said some facilities were being provided by the department which also included financial assistance for the construction of rearing sheds.

Bhat said mulberry plants are indispensable for sustaining the growth of the sericulture sector in J&K.

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).
