Abohar, September 18

Ravi Kant of Nihal Khera, a resident of a village near Abohar, has won the prize for best crop produce of ‘narma’ cotton variety at a competition organised in Punjab Agriculture University.

He also cultivates basmati, wheat, cabbage, mustard, chickpeas and vegetables in his ‘polyculture’ farm and has recently planted around 80 palm trees.

Ravi attributes his recent cotton yield of two quintals per acre to efforts in taking good care of the crop.

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).
