Global star Priyanka Chopra on Friday took to her Twitter handle to praise a girl from a village in Jharkhand. Going by the name Seema, she has successfully secured a full scholarship to the Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Priyanka shared Seema’s story by Yuwa India and captioned her post as, “Educate a girl and she can change the world… such an inspiring achievement. Bravo Seema, I can’t wait to see what you do next.” Seema lives with her family in a village named Ormanjhi. After joining a Yuwa football team in 2012, she has avoided child marriage, defended her right to education and played football for years despite being ridiculed for wearing shorts.

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).
