Education Department officials should regularly inspect schools and ensure quality of academic activities, Education Secretary Abhishek Jain said while addressing Deputy Directors, Elementary and Higher Education, at the circuit house here today.

He said besides academic activities, students should also be encouraged to participate in sports, cultural and extracurricular activities like debates, declamations and science fairs.

Jain said that the construction of playgrounds and buildings should be completed in the stipulated time. He added that teachers should help students inculcate discipline and make them aware about the adverse effects of drug abuse.

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).
