Online mobile games on the theme of freedom struggle are the latest offerings from GoI as it comes up with yet another innovative initiative under the “Azadi ki Amrit Mahotsav” programme launched to celebrate 75 years of the country’s independence.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Singh Thakur on Wednesday unveiled mobile games designed to highlight key milestones of freedom struggle and lesser known freedom fighters. Stating that about 40 crore Indians play games on their mobiles as of now, Thakur said the games rolled out today would be instrumental in introducing youths to the history of freedom struggle. The online games will put the spotlight on many people who, despite making significant contribution to the freedom struggle, were not mentioned in textbooks, Thakur said.

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).
