The State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) Punjab on Sunday conducted Punjab State Talent Search Examination (PSTSE) in various schools of the district. As many as 1,885 students from government and government aided schools of the district, including 943 students of Class X and 942 students of Class VIII, appeared in the exam at 14 examination centres. Providing information, District Education Officer (Secondary) Harjit Singh said that the state-level examination was conducted under the guidance of Secretary School Education Krishan Kumar. He said the students of Class VIII who would qualify through this examination would get a scholarship of Rs 200 per month up to Class X and the students of Class X would get a scholarship up to Class XII.

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).
