Srinagar, August 13

Government Degree College, Kargil, has launched an intensified information, education and communication (IEC) campaign for HIV/AIDS, officials said on Tuesday.

A spokesperson said the event has been launched in collaboration with J&K Aids Control Society and Higher Education Department, Ladakh, during the two-day event—International Youth Day—on August 12 and 13.

“The college red ribbon committee had arranged different events during the two-day programme, which include volleyball competition, poster design competition on the first day and students’ open debate/ discussion session on HIV/AIDS and expert panel session on the concluding day,” the spokesperson said.

A large number of students and faculty members attended the programme, he said.

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).
