The UT Administration has set up Jeevan Dhara ITI —a certified industrial training institute—inside Model Jail, Burail, marking its first formal education-cum-skill facility within prison premises.

The initiative will be launched on December 6 by Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant through a virtual event from Gurugram.

From the 2025-26 academic cycle, the jail will run one-year certificate programmes in sewing technology and woodwork technician, affiliated with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

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).
