Patiala, March 2

Anita Gill, former professor of economics at Punjabi University, Patiala, and visiting professor at Yale University, USA, has been appointed the Dean (Academic affairs) at Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Punjab State Open University, which was established recently. She joined her office today.

The professor, who retired after 32 years of service at Punjabi University, has already written and edited two books, along with over 36 research papers in reputed journals.

“I have been appointed as the Dean (Academic affairs) as the university needed someone experienced in academics and governance. The task at our hands now is to finalise courses and curriculum that we wish to start at the university, along with getting various approvals from the state government.”

The university aims at starting its first session in July this year.

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).
