New Delhi, March 26

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has approved setting up of 21 new Sainik Schools, in partnership with NGOs, private schools and state governments.

These schools will be set up in the initial round of the government’s initiative of setting up of 100 new Sainik Schools across the country in partnership mode.

They will be distinct from the existing Sainik Schools. The existing schools are set up entirely from government funds. Seventeen of these 21 schools are existing and four will be operational shortly. Twelve approved today are being run by NGOs, trusts and societies; six are private schools, and three are state government owned. —

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).
