New Delhi, July 12

The government has nominated 29 non-official members from different sectors, including large and small enterprises, to the Board of Trade — the advisory body on foreign trade policy.

The Board, headed by the Commerce and Industry Minister and including participants from states, Union Territories, and senior officials from public and private sectors, provides a platform to discuss ways on boosting manufacturing and exports. The new members include TCS chief Rajesh Gopinathan, KKR India chairman Sanjay Nayyar and Laghu Udyog Bharati executive member Om Prakash Mittal. India Cellular and Electronics Association chairman Pankaj Mahindroo and Amul MD RS Sodhi are among other members.

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).
