Under the Chief Minister Women’s Employment Scheme, one woman from every family will be provided an amount of Rs 10,000 as the first instalment to start an employment venture, he said.

“I am confident that the implementation of this scheme will not only further strengthen the position of women, but also provide better employment opportunities within the state, ensuring that people do not have to leave the state out of necessity for employment,” Kumar said in a post on X.

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).
