The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Friday launched an educational programme under which primary school students will visit the planetarium and the Prime Ministers’ Museum to learn about science, technology and India’s political history.
The programme was inaugurated by Mayor Pravesh Wahi, who said it was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal during Mann Ki Baat urging children to visit planetariums and learn about India’s achievements in science and technology.
A total of 200 MCD school students took part in the first visit on Friday, while another batch of 200 students will visit the institutions on Saturday. The programme includes free transport, guided tours and refreshments.
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).
