Delhi Government is preparing a comprehensive policy to promote the animation, visual effects, gaming, and comics (AVGC) sector to strengthen the capital’s creative economy and generate jobs for youth.

Officials said the draft policy will be finalised by December and released for public feedback before being placed before the Delhi Cabinet for approval. Earlier this month, the Tourism Department partnered with Netflix for a special screening of the animated series Kurukshetra.

Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra said the government was working to position Delhi as a “Global Content Hub” in the AVGC sector. Officials added that the policy was being modelled after frameworks adopted by states such as Maharashtra, which recently approved its AVGC-XR Policy 2025, projecting the creation of two lakh jobs.

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).
