Bathinda, July 30

Three skill development centres being run under the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM) and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) are under the scanner over allegations of fraud and poor standards.

The Bathinda administration has reported fraudulent enrolment in the form of “ghost trainees” and inconsistencies in the quality of training centres in the district. While one centre has been placed under suspension, two others have been put on notice.

The schemes, aimed at training youth at the grassroots and instilling entrepreneurship skills in them, are part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” (a collective development of everyone) initiative. INSIDE

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).
