Srinagar, August 21

Student enrolment in government schools in J&K was steadily declining before 2019, but it has increased by 14.5% in the last two years, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has said.

Sustained efforts were being made for early childhood care and education as recommended by the national education policy, he said, addressing the annual day function at the Devki Arya Putri Pathshala. He said several interventions were made in the education sector.

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).
