For the first time, the University Institute of Technology (UIT), Himachal Pradesh University, has been granted a National Cadet Corps (NCC) Army unit. In its maiden selection, 26 students — including 17 boys and nine girls — have been inducted.

Prof Amarjit Singh, Director of UIT, congratulated the cadets, emphasising that NCC training would instill discipline, leadership, patriotism and physical fitness among students. “Those who successfully earn NCC certificates will find greater opportunities in various fields,” he noted.

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).
