Punjab Soil and Water Conservation Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra, on Friday, handed over grants worth more than Rs 4 crore for the development of 7 watershed-based projects, which are being implemented in Hoshiarpur, Pathankot, SBS Nagar, SAS Nagar and Rupnagar. The total cost of these projects is said to be Rs 80 crore.

The Cabinet Minister interacted with the members of Watershed Committees, Farmer Produce Organisations and Self Help Groups at the Soil Conservation Complex, Mohali, and advocated for the development of agriculture-allied sectors such as dairy, piggery, goatry, poultry, bee-keeping to help farmers have an income source all year round. Jouramajra also encouraged the expansion of the area under organic cultivation by promoting adaptive seeds, local manures, vermi-composts, etc.

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).
