Dr Manjit Singh Kang, former Vice-Chancellor of Punjab Agricultural University, has been nominated for the World Food Prize, often referred to as “Nobel Prize for Food and Agriculture”. The nomination was made by “Borlaug Farmers Association for South Asia” headquartered in Ludhiana. The first recipient of the award in 1987 was Dr MS Swaninathan, the father of India’s Green Revolution. Dr Ratan Lal and Dr Gurdev Khush from the PAU have also won this award.

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).
