Patiala, February 10

A fashion industry businessman, Sunil Sethi, president of Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), was today conferred an honorary doctorate, Doctor of Literature (DLitt) Honoris Causa, by Chitkara University. Seth is known for bringing Indian fashion to the global stage.

The university has presented Sethi with the doctorate in honour of his contribution to ‘humanity, world peace and education’.

Seth has worked as senior vice-president with Li and Fung Group, a multinational company. He set up Alliance Merchandising, a sourcing and buying company in 1988.

“My work in the space of fashion and product design has always been passionate, as it drives me towards excellence”, he said at the felicitation ceremony.

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).
