The modified interest subvention scheme is likely to be extended for 2025-26 during a meeting of the Union Cabinet here on Wednesday.

Under the scheme, farmers get a relief of 1.5 per cent on loans up to Rs 3 lakh.

Some key decisions related to internal security are likely to be taken up at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security, sources said, amid the current fluid geopolitical scenario.

The cabinet meeting is taking place after a gap of two weeks.

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).
