Jalandhar, March 23

The Democratic Teachers’ Front (DTF), Punjab, organised a state-level awareness seminar at Desh Bhagat Yadgar Hall on Thursday to protest the New Education Policy-2020 (NEP) and ‘Schools of Excellence’ scheme.

The seminar was led by its state president Vikram Dev Singh and general secretary Mukesh Kumar. A protest march was also taken out from Desh Bhagat Yadgar Hall to Press Club Chowk, where members of the DTF, along with other teachers, sent a ‘letter’ to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann through the district administration, raising questions over its pilot project ‘Schools of Eminence’.

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).
