New Delhi, November 5

The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has urged Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to start distance learning courses for Punjabi in Delhi University (DU) and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU).

In a letter to Pradhan and Vice-Chancellors of the DU and IGNOU, DSGMC minority cell chairman Jaswinder Singh Jolly said offering courses in Punjabi would be highly beneficial to both students and university.

He said Punjabi was an integral part of the cultural heritage of the Punjab region. Incorporating Punjabi courses would not only help preserve the language, but also empower students with the requisite knowledge and skills to engage with Punjabi-speaking communities and explore professional opportunities.

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).
