Avneet Kaur, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development), announced that entrepreneurial women will be honoured at the state-level International Women’s Day celebrations on March 8.

The initiative, organised by the Punjab State Rural Livelihood Mission, aims to recognise women entrepreneurs across the state. In each district block/constituency, 100 women will be honoured, and 20 outstanding entrepreneurs will be selected for state-level recognition.

Details on eligibility, guidelines, and application forms are available at Block Development and Panchayat Offices for rural areas and SDM offices for urban areas. Applicants are encouraged to apply through these offices.

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).
