New Delhi, March 14

INS Dronacharya, the gunnery school of the Navy, will be awarded President’s Colour by President Droupadi Murmu in Kerala on March 16. President’s Colour or ‘Nishan’ is considered the highest honour that the Supreme Commander bestows on a unit for its exceptional service to the nation. INS Dronacharya trains officers and sailors of the Navy, Coast Guard and friendly foreign maritime forces on all aspects of gunnery and missile warfare.

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).
