Amritsar, November 7

Members of the Non-Government Aided Colleges’ Management Federation (NGACMF) denounced the recent notification of the Punjab Government regarding proposed fixing of retirement age of college teachers to 58 years. They demanded that the age of superannuation of teachers should be raised to 65 years. Teachers are an indispensable human resource and their services must be utilised for a longer duration, they said.

The demand was raised during an executive body meeting of the NGACMF held under the headship of federation president Rajinder Mohan Singh Chhina on Sunday.

The federation also demanded that the grant-in-aid scheme must be implemented fully and not in the diluted form.

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).
