Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday conferred the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship and Sangeet Natak Awards for the year 2018 on eminent artists at a special function here. The Lalit Kala Akademi Awards were also presented.

Lalit Kala Akademi Awards, including three fellowships, were conferred on 23 personalities. The recipients of the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship are tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, dancer and choreographer Jatin Goswami, dancer Sonal Mansingh and dance teacher Thiruvidaimarudur Kuppiah Kalyanasundaram. —

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).
