The Ludhiana Senior Citizens’ Conclave distributed merit-cum-means scholarships among 123 needy students from 13 girls colleges, a high school, and a senior secondary school, amounting to Rs 5,60,000 in a ceremony held at the Nehru Sidhant Kender Trust.
Members of the conclave said distributing scholarships was a yearly feature with the aim of serving the marginalised sections of society. Rakesh Bharti Mittal, chief patron; Dr RL Narang, general secretary; and NC Jain, finance secretary of the conclave, distributed the scholarships. Colonel RK Jain, president, thanked the members of the conclave for contributing towards the scholarships. He also shared highlights of the scholarship scheme. Since its inception the senior citizens’ conclave has engaged in the upliftment of the needy.
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).
