Chandigarh, September 8

While presiding over annual meeting of the Board of Governors in Shimla, Governor and North Zone Culture Centre (NZCC) Chairman Banwarilal Purohit, stressed on preserving and disseminating the heritage of India.

Purohit said two lifetime achievement awards (Rs 5 lakh each) would be given to folk artistes annually. A proposal for an auditorium at Kalagram will be sent under the Tagore Cultural Complex Grant Scheme and Rs 4 crore will be contributed by the UT Administration while Rs 6 crore by the Ministry of Culture.

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).
