Hamirpur, June 5

Prof SP Bansal, Vice-Chancellor of Himachal Pradesh Technical University here, has got extension for one year. His tenure was to be completed on June 11.

Prof Bansal had joined the university in June 2018. He had been VC of two universities in Haryana.

He was the only Vice-Chancellor, who had converted the HPTU from the affiliating university to teaching university and started over 15 new courses on its campus.

It was only during his tenure that the university could fetch TEQUIP grant of over Rs 20 crore for infrastructure development.

Thanking Bandaru Dattatreya, Governor, Prof Bansal said he would continue to improve the quality of technical education and ranking of the university. He was also thankful to Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur for extending his tenure.

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).
