New Delhi, August 10

The capital’s leading economic think-tank, the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), has undergone a change of guard after 15 years.

Noted economist Isher Judge Ahluwalia has stepped down and has been succeeded by Pramod Bhasin as chairperson. Currently Vice-Chair, Bhasin is the Founder of Genpact Chairman Clix Capital. He has headed Nasscom and is a chartered accountant by profession.

Isher will continue as Chairperson Emeritus, a position specially created for her.

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).
