The GD Birla award for scientific research for 2019 has been given to Prof Roop Mallik, department of biological science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, for his contribution in the area of biophysics.

Prof Roop Mallik has also been given an award money of Rs 5 lakh. This award is given to eminent Indian scientists below the age of 50 for their contribution to any branch of science.

The GD Birla Award for scientific research was instituted in 1991 by KK Birla Foundation with the objective of accord recognition to high calibre scientific research undertaken by Indian scientists living and working in India.

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).
