New Delhi, October 12

The Centre today approved a new Rs 6,600-crore scheme — Prime Minister’s Development Initiative for North East Region (PM-DevINE) — to support physical and social infrastructure projects and industries in the eight North-Eastern states.

Briefing media about the decisions of the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister for Department of North-East Region (DoNER) G Kishan Reddy said the scheme, to be implemented during the remaining four years of the 15th Finance Commission from 2022-23 to 2025-26, was a 100 per cent Central government-funded plan. The scheme would be implemented by the DoNER Ministry through the North-Eastern Council (NEC).

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).
