A significant step forward in UK-India collaboration on urban sustainability was marked by a three-day international symposium held in Punjab.

The event brought together experts from both nations under the SSG-Bridge project, jointly funded by the British Council (UK) and the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), India.

The symposium, titled “Enhancing Urban Resilience and Sustainability through UK-India Collaboration,” convened eminent academics, policymakers, industry leaders and early career researchers. This dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and collaborative planning represents a strategic partnership between Birmingham City University (UK), MBCIE, Ludhiana, Lovely Professional University and PAC, Ludhiana.

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).
