Three spirited entrepreneurs, Jaswant Singh, Surjit Singh, and Sandeep Singh, from Mukerian visited PAU’s School of Business Studies under the NIDHI-TBI initiative. They received expert mentorship to scale their venture velna.com, centered around jaggery products.

Despite being in their 50s, the trio is redefining age-related norms, proving one is never too old to dream. Dr Ramandeep Singh, Principal Investigator, commended their wisdom and resilience, offering full institutional support.

Dr Poonam A Sachdev guided them on food safety and processing, while NIDHI-TBI’s Gurinder Singh and Sameer Gautam provided insights on branding and packaging. .

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).
