Minister for Home and Cooperation Amit Shah on Thursday said the Centre aimed to create two lakh new primary agricultural credit societies (PACS), out of which 40,000 have already been created, while there computerisation has also been completed.

Addressing a cooperative sector job fair in Jaipur, Shah said the Centre had guaranteed the purchase of pulses, oilseeds and maize of farmers registering on the NAFED and NCCF app at the minimum support price (MSP) and if the price being received in the market were more than the MSP, then the farmers were free to sell their produce in the market.

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).
