The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has amended its affiliation bylaws to mandate use of NCERT textbooks by schools. According to a notification by the CBSE, schools have been strongly advised to follow the NCERT/SCERT textbooks for Classes I to VIII.

Schools may use supplementary material as per their requirement, but it needs to be aligned with the NCF-FS (National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage) and NCF-SE (National Curriculum Framework for School Education). For Classes IX to XII, schools have to mandatorily follow the NCERT textbooks prescribed in the CBSE curriculum. — TNS

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).
