The Punjab Engineering College (PEC) has appointed Baldev Setia as its new director, the institution said in its statement on Tuesday.

A graduate of Civil Engineering in 1985 and post-graduate of Water Resources Engineering in 1992, both from Regional Engineering College, Kurukshetra, Setia has been a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering of National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, since 2006, the statement said.

He has over 35 years of experience in teaching, research, consultancy, and administration and got his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (India) in 1998.

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).
