The NCERT on Monday announced a 20 per cent cut in the prices of its textbook for Classes IX-XII. This will come into effect from the upcoming academic year.

“This is the first time that price of textbooks has been reduced significantly,” NCERT Director Dinesh Prasad Saklani said during the ‘Bhumi Pujan’ for the construction of an auditorium at NCERT Headquarters.

The NCERT also signed an MoU with Flipkart to ensure seamless availability of NCERT publications across the country. Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan inaugurated a Google Learning Centre. The Minister also released NISTHA Integrated Teacher Training Modules.

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).
