The ABVP’s key demands include reinstating student union elections, addressing discrepancies in entrance exam results, strengthening basic infrastructure at educational institutions, regular recruitment of teaching and non-teaching staff, restoring 112 hectares of land taken from Palampur Agricultural University, reducing the jurisdiction of Sardar Patel University, Mandi, combating rising drug mafias, constructing a boys’ hostel and ensuring proper maintenance of the local college.

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).
