Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who is also the Chancellor of Panjab University, appointed Prof (Dr) Renu Cheema Vig, presently the Dean of University Instruction (DUI), as the Vice-Chancellor of Panjab University, today.

Exercising the powers conferred by Section 10 of the Panjab University Act 1947, Dhankhar made the appointment of Prof Vig for a term of three years.

It may be noted that subsequent to the resignation of Prof Raj Kumar as Vice-Chancellor of Panjab University, Prof Vig was Acting Vice Chancellor since January 16, 2023.

Consequently, the Vice-President constituted a three-member search-cum-selection committee on March 21 for recommending names for the post of Vice-Chancellor. Prof Renu Vig’s appointment follows from the committee’s report.

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).
