New Delhi: Manasi G Joshi, the para athlete and badminton player from Mumbai, has been named among ‘Next Generation Leaders’ by Time magazine as a ‘pioneering athlete’. Manasi, who won gold at the Para-Badminton World Championships last year, said: “The younger me would have never believed it that some day I will be on the cover of Time and be called the next generation leader. This is so huge.” She added that she was feeling “responsible” for being the “voice of an underrepresented community not just in India but across the world and I am glad that my sport is helping in amplify my voice and thoughts”. Manasi started playing badminton at age six. A software engineer, she was involved in a motorcycle accident that led to the amputation of her left leg in 2011. 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).
