Patiala, July 6

Punjabi University, Patiala, concluded its fortnight-long advanced sign language workshop and training programme today. Participants from over seven states, including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, participated in the programme.

Arun Rai, a sign language expert associated with the association of sign language interpreters and Rupmani Chhetri, deaf community manager at SignAble, a social impact start-up that works with the deaf community, were also part of the 15-day event in which participants were trained with using sign language to better support communication with others.

Vice-Chancellor Prof Arvind said the university apart from organising such events was also working on developing technology for people with special needs including development of various software and technologies.

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).
