Ludhiana, November 10

Rajni Bector, founder and chairman emeritus, Mrs Bector’s Food Specialties Ltd, was awarded the Padma Shri award by President Ram Nath Kovind for her significant contribution to the promotion and sustainable growth of trade and industry.

She was among the five recipients from Punjab who were honoured with the fourth-highest civilian award. At a special ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, Rajni Bector interacted with the President and Prime Minister. “I feel blessed and express my gratitude to the government for recognising my achievements,” said the recipient of Padma Shri. The Prime Minister also recognised her enthusiasm and expressed a desire to experience the taste of Rajni Bector’s recipe. Offering to fulfil his wish, Bector invited PM Modi to Ludhiana for lunch with her. — 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).
