Ludhiana, August 18

Under the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign, Navchetna Bal Bhalai Committee has taken the initiative to give safety, protection and free and better education to the girl child.

Sukhbir Singh Sekhon, president of the committee, and general secretary Surinder Singh Kang said they were committed towards the social awareness scheme and welfare and education of girls. In a committee meeting held on Wednesday, Navchetna announced to give free education to two Class XI students — Loveleen Kaur and Karamjit Kaur — for their further studies.

Sekhon said their organisation, under the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ scheme, provides an environment for children to grow and live a dignified life. Navchetna was always ready to help and take the responsibility of those who are less likely to complete their education.

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).
