Abohar, September 13

Sher Singh Toor (98), former director of Gramothan Vidyapeeth and finance secretary of the Swami Keshwanand Memorial Charitable Trust, released Hindi edition of a book on the life of Swami Keshwanand on Sunday.

The book has been translated from English to Hindi by historian Dr Rekha Sood Handa. Toor and Raghubir Singh Bhadoo recall how Keshwanand went to villages to supply books and fought ban on educating women.

In pre and post-Independence period, Keshwanand had founded Sahitya Sadan in Abohar, Gramothan Vidyapeeth in Sangria and more than 200 primary education centers in Punjab and Rajasthan. — Raj Sadosh

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).
