Ludhiana, August 19

Members of the Wings of Wisdom Foundation (WoWF) expressed gratitude to the district administration for its support and guidance in the successful rolling out of the Bal Sansad initiative, a first-of-its-kind in Punjab.

The Bal Sansad (Children’s Parliament) programme, launched between August 1-15, across 50 government schools in the district, is an effort by the WoWF to empower students by fostering leadership skills, civic awareness and active participation in democratic processes. The programme engaged 5,000 students, resulting in 350 nominations and the training of 119 teachers, with 50 ceremonies marking the establishment of the Bal Sansads. — TNS

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).
