Jalandhar, November 18

Lovely Professional University (LPU) hosted a two-day sensitisation workshop — Tech Fiesta — for visually impaired people on its campus, in collaboration with Saksham, a non-government organisation.

The workshop was aimed at understanding the challenges that people with visual impairment tend to face. Technological solutions to those challenges were also presented.

Nearly 300 visually impaired people from across the state and adjoining areas attended the workshop.

While inaugurating the workshop, Lovely Professional University Chancellor Ashok Kumar Mittal congratulated the organisers. Addressing all able-bodied persons of the world on the campus, Mittal, stressed, “We must learn from the visually impaired how difficulties in life should be overcome.”

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).
