New Delhi, March 9

An RSS-linked NGO in Madhya Pradesh has taken a unique initiative of putting the date of birth of students up to Class VIII on their marksheets in Vikram Samvat along with the Gregorian calendar date in four schools run by it.

The Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas has also decided to celebrate birthdays of students as per the Vikram Samvat calendar. It said the first phase of the initiative would cover 2,500 students. Regional co-convener of the NGO Om Sharma said they have urged parents to celebrate birthdays of their children in accordance with the Vikram Samvat calendar.

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).
