New Delhi, November 6

The Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) today started inviting applications from startups to fund entrepreneurs in collaboration with venture capitalists and other private investors.

The STPI will select 75 startups under the programme this year and facilitate funding of up to Rs 1 crore.

MeitY Secretary S Krishnan said venture capitalists and incubators should look at reaching out to startups beyond metros and tier-1 cities.

STPI Director General Arvind Kumar said the programme for funding is called Leap (Launchpad for Tech Entrepreneurs towards Accelerated growth and Pioneering Ahead). The government has allocated Rs 95 crore to STPI for supporting up to 300 startups.

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).
