Sangrur, June 13

Confined to their villages due to Covid, many farmers have been attending webinars and online training programmes on latest techniques of direct seeding of rice (DSR) and other things related to farming.

Apart from online interaction, digital pamphlets shared by experts through WhatsApp groups and social media are also proving to be of great help to them.

“Webinars being organised by various organisations like the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kheri, and Farm Advisory Service Centre, Sangrur, are the main source of information for us as Covid has restricted our movement,” said Jagjiwan Singh, a farmer from Ubhawal village. — TNS

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).
