Chandigarh, May 13

The Punjab Government has come up with a plan to give boost to ease of doing business besides promoting exports. Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan approved the initiative — a first by any state in the country.

Chairing the state-level export committee’s meeting, she said the state government has prepared the Punjab State Export Plan 2021-26 in order to implement ‘district as export hub scheme’ and ‘one district one product scheme’. This will transform the state into an export power house and promote local products with an objective of increasing volume of exports, synergies of various schemes of the Centre and the State, besides increasing efficiency in supply chains and augmenting export infrastructure, products and market diversification. — TNS

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).
