Delhi University and IIT Kanpur’s Foundation for Advanced Continuing Education and Training (IFACET) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate skill enhancement through several academic and research initiatives under the mandate of the Electronics and ICT Academies (EICTA) Consortium.

Speaking at the occasion, DU Registrar Vikas Gupta said, “This partnership aims to strengthen the delivery of academic programmes and mutually support the efforts of both DU and the EICTA Consortium.” The consortium, which includes 14 institutions, established at premier institutes such as IITs, NITs, IIITs, CDAC and NIELIT, will help in skill enhancement for faculty and students of DU-affiliated colleges.

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).
