The Centre on Thursday constituted an expert group to provide technical inputs and recommendations on fixation of minimum wages and national floor minimum wages.

An order to this effect was issued by the Union Labour Ministry. The proposed inputs and recommendations are with regard to implementation of the code on wage.

The group, headed by Prof Ajit Mishra, Director, Institute of Economic Growth, has been constituted for a period of three years.

DPS Negi, senior labour and employment advisor, will be the secretary.

The other members include, Prof Tarika Chakraborty, IIM Calcutta; Dr Anushree Sinha, Senior Fellow, NCAER; Vibha Bhalla, Joint Secretary; and Dr H Srinivas, Director General, VVGNLI.

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).
