PM Narendra Modi on Saturday stressed a five point resilience plan saying inclusion of disaster in higher education was important.

Addressing the International Conference on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure-2025 through video-conferencing, the PM listed 5 topics —Integrating disaster resilience courses and modules into higher education to build a skilled workforce equipped to tackle future challenges; creating a global digital repository to document best practices and learnings from countries that have faced disasters and rebuilt with resilience; innovative financing; India’s recognition of Small Island Developing States as Large Ocean Countries and need for special attention to their vulnerabilities and strengthening early warning systems.

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).
