New Delhi, July 21

PM Narendra Modi on Friday exhorted the G20 to make universal social protection a reality by 2030 and regretted that the current framework adopted by international organisations only accounts for benefits that are structured in certain narrow ways.

Addressing the G20 Labour and Employment Ministers’ Meet, he said several benefits provided in other forms were not covered under the framework. “We have universal public health, food security, insurance and pension programmes that are not being accounted for. We must reconsider these benefits.”

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).
