Rayat Bahra Professional University organised an informative seminar on Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) at the Department of Allied and Health Care Sciences.

The session was chaired by Principal Dr Harinder Gill and Department Head Dr Sukhmeet Bedi. Dr Neetu Sareen, an expert in the field, addressed students, explaining that HPV is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection, with certain strains linked to severe health conditions, including cervical cancer. She highlighted the importance of the HPV vaccine as a highly effective preventive measure.

The seminar also provided valuable information on timely screenings and the significance of vaccination for the prevention of cervical cancer. Dr Sukhmeet Bedi emphasised that public awareness of the HPV vaccine is crucial for health protection.

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).
