Ludhiana, August 9

In a bid to enhance a connect between the farmers and scientists, the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) will organise seven kisan melas in September. Dr MS Bhullar, Director of Extension Education, PAU, said the first kisan mela would be held at Nag Kalan — Jahangir, Amritsar, on September 3, followed by Ballowal Saunkhri on September 6 and Faridkot on September 10. The two-day PAU kisan mela in Ludhiana is scheduled on September 13 and 14, he said. Besides, kisan melas at Gurdaspur, Rauni (Patiala) and Bathinda would be organised on September 18, 24 and 27, he added.

Expressing concern over the challenges being faced by the farmers, Dr Satbir Singh Gosal, Vice-Chancellor, PAU, said: “Rapid depletion of groundwater can turn the entire state into a desert.”

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).
