Srinagar, September 1

A project to benefit nearly 30,000 tribal sheep-farming families over three years by providing skilling, financial aid, infrastructure and marketing support has been finalised by the Jammu and Kashmir administration, an official said on Thursday.

The project, finalised by the J&K’s Tribal Affairs Department and Central Wool Development Board, will be launched in October this year after detailed deliberations, an official spokesman said.

The proposal of Tribal Affairs Department, supported by the CWDB, includes establishment of two common facility centres at an estimated cost of Rs 10 crore. Nearly 30,000 tribal sheep farmers will be trained in mechanised sheep shearing

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).
