Under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Women in Agriculture (AICRP-WIA), the Department of Resource Management and Consumer Science (RMCS) at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) conducted a hands-on training session on ‘herbal soap making’ at Akalgarh village, Ludhiana. Thirty-five farm women participated, learning the process from sourcing raw materials to crafting lightly scented herbal soaps.

Dr Shivani Rana, a scientist at AICRP-WIA, shared insights on the monetary benefits of making herbal soaps at home, emphasising the potential for selling them at premium prices.

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).
