Chandigarh, June 17

A meeting of the high-powered committee was held under the chairpersonship of Haryana Chief Secretary Keshni Anand Arora to review the progress under National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) funded projects and scheme for the first quarter of financial year 2020-21.

The Chief Secretary appreciated the efforts made by all administrative secretaries and NABARD for the sanction of new projects worth Rs1,295.20 crore against the target of Rs1,250 crore and drawal of funds to the tune of Rs715.18 crore (against the target of Rs700 crore during 2019-20). The Chief Secretary requested NABARD Chief General Manager Rajiv Mahajan to enhance the allocation of the state to Rs2,000 crore for sanctioning new projects in 2020-21.

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).
