New Delhi, March 31

Once bitten twice shy, the Centre on Wednesday rolled out the field work of the much-awaited all-India survey on migrant workers and the all-India quarterly establishment based employment survey (AQEES).

Launching the survey vide video-conference here, Union Labour Minister Santosh Kumar Gangwar said the results of both these surveys would generate highly useful data for effective policy making in the field of labour and employment. Sources said the Ministry was pushing for availability of the results of the two surveys initiated today within this year.

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).
