The border district of Ferozepur has been bestowed with the National SKOCH Award for effective implementation of the “Poshan Abhiyaan”. The award was received by Deputy Commissioner Chander Gaind and District Programme Officer Rattandip Sandhu besides other officials from the Women and Child Development Department during a function held in New Delhi.

The DC said, “The administration organised activities such as village-level rallies, ‘jaago’, ‘nukkad nataks’, magic shows, Lohri celebration events for girl children, cooking shows etc.”

“Programmes are being organised to make women aware about menstrual hygiene, proper sanitation and balanced diet,” said the DC. — OC

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).
