Chandigarh, September 19

Under the Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Parivar Utthan Yojana, 861 Antyodaya Gram Utthan Melas were organised (as of September 7) in three phases across all 22 districts.

In all, 1,36,130 identified beneficiaries turned up at these melas and applications of 76,454 were approved in principle under various loan-based, skill development and job-generation schemes. Loans have been sanctioned to 32,743 beneficiaries, of which disbursement has been made in over 14,000 cases. Private jobs were availed by 436 beneficiaries, while 1,185 have been provided with skill development opportunities.

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).
