Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today said that senior secondary sections in government schools of the state located within the jurisdiction of urban local bodies would be made co-educational.

The Chief Minister, while presiding over a meeting of the Education Department here, said that the state government would rationalise schools with low enrolment of students and where another similar level school within a manageable distance was available.

Education Minister Rohit Thakur, Secretary (Education) Rakesh Kanwar and other senior officers of the Education Department attended the meeting.

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).
