Hoshiarpur, August 23

Hoshiarpur tops among the district in providing financial aid to beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY). To date, 40,410 women beneficiaries in the district have been given a benefit of Rs 19,96,30,000.

DC Sandeep Hans said: “Under the PMMVY of the Department of Social Security and Women and Child Development, all women who become pregnant for the first time are given an amount of Rs 5,000 in 3 installments.”

He said the first installment of Rs 1000 was given to the pregnant woman at the time of registration and making mother child card, second of Rs 2,000 at the six month of pregnancy during the medical examination and the final installment of the Rs 2,000 after the first stage of vaccination after the birth of the child.

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).
