A parliamentary panel has flagged underrepresentation of women in leadership roles in central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) and suggested implementation of measures to eliminate barriers hindering their advancement.

The panel’s assertion came while reviewing the working of Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB), a high-powered body set up with the objective of evolving a sound managerial policy for the CPSEs. In its report, the department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee reiterated its concern over the significant gender gap in top managerial positions within CPSEs, where women constitute only 7 per cent of the eligible pool and merely 7 per cent at the board level.

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).
