Chandigarh, February 9

The state government has clarified that engineering diplomas and degrees awarded by the Institution of Civil Engineers, Ludhiana, after May 31, 2013, were not valid.

The Chief Secretary’s office said the decision had been taken following the orders of the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

The Council had ruled that it had decided to “recognise equivalence for all purposes, including higher education and employment, to technical courses conducted by various professional institutions duly recognised by the HRDMinistry with permanent recognition up to May 31, 2013”. — TNS

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).
