Chandigarh, March 14

The ad-hoc committee on education under former education minister Geeta Bhukkal has recommended that “there is a need to have more than 20% of state budget”, as the state is going to implement National Education Policy 2020 by the year 2025 and also Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act. At present, 11.12 per cent is allocated to education.

Bhukkal’s committee also recommended e-scooty for girls of technical institutions, increase in honorarium for players/coaches, extra budget for youth hostels and separate allocation for Sports University in Rai. —

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).
