Dr Gurmeet Singh, Associate Professor and former Chairperson of Department of Hindi, Panjab University, has been nominated a member of the Hindi Salahkar Samiti (Hindi Advisory Committee) of the Ministry of Telecommunication, Government of India.

The committee has been reconstituted under the Chairmanship of Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Telecommunications.

The Hindi Advisory Committee has six members of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha amongst others. The committee works towards advising the ministry in use of Rajbhasha Hindi in official works of the government.

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).
