Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday announced that the state would soon launch ‘Indira Rasoi Yojna’ (Indira Kitchen Scheme) to come true on the state government’s resolution of ‘No One Sleeps Hungry’.

Under this scheme, the needy persons will be provided nutritious food twice a day on concessional rates, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said while launching the COVID-19 awareness program during a virtual conference.

On this scheme, the CM said his government would spend Rs 100 crore every year.

Local NGOs would also be lined up to run this scheme and effective monitoring would be done with the help of IT, he added.

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).
