India will see a record foodgrains production of 316.06 million tonnes in the Crop year 2021-22

According to the second advance estimates of production of major crops for the year 2021-22 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, a record foodgrains production of 316.06 million tonnes is estimated.

Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Narender Singh Tomar said the new record of foodgrains production in the country is the result of hard work of farmers, efficient research of scientists and farmer friendly policies of the government.

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).
