Amritsar, September 6

The Punjab Urdu Academy, established for the promotion and dissemination of Urdu language and literature, has started an Urdu class at Saroop Rani Government College, Amritsar, to provide basic education in the language.

Dr Ranjodh Singh, Secretary, Punjab Urdu Academy, said the class is held in the college from 3 pm to 4 pm every day free of cost and is open to all, including students, domestic workers, government or non-government employees and entrepreneurs. He said while the state government is trying hard to develop the Punjabi language, it is introducing the course to promote Urdu language as well.

There is no age limit for the said Urdu class. “The class is absolutely free and the course will be of six months duration.

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).
