Dr Parveen Chhuneja, a distinguished scientist at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) will be awarded the prestigious fellowship of the Indian National Science Academy (INSA). This honour recognises her contributions to the field of agricultural biotechnology. The achievement also marks a remarkable milestone in her career, as now she would hold fellowships from three of India’s leading scientific academies — INSA, the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), and the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI). With this, she is the first scientist at PAU, across all the present faculties, to earn these three highly respected fellowships in just three years.

Dr Chhuneja has also received numerous accolades, both nationally and internationally, for her pioneering work in wheat research. Internationally, she was awarded the ‘Gene Stewardship Team Award’.

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).
