The scheme aims to mitigate the practice of burning stubble, which is a major environmental concern. Under the initiative, the department will provide various machines on subsidy, including balers and rakes for making bales of straw, happy seeders for sowing wheat while spreading straw, zero till drills for sowing wheat without ploughing, super seeders for direct wheat sowing, reverse ploughs and paddy straw, choppers, shredders and mulchers.

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).
