Jalandhar, August 27

A three-day training course on protected cultivation of vegetables was organised by the Department of Horticulture in Kartarpur.

On the concluding day on Firday, Dr Lal Bahadur Damathia, Deputy Director, Horticulture, encouraged farmers to diversify the area from traditional wheat-paddy cycle to new crops.

In this training, 54 farmers from 13 districts participated. Damathia said farmers could earn profit of Rs 50,000 to Rs 70,000 from one kanal covered area (500 sq m) with the help of new technologies.

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).
