New Delhi, April 13

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by PM Modi on Wednesday approved continuation of the revamped centrally sponsored scheme Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan from April 1, 2022, to March 31,2026.

The scheme, which aims to develop governance capabilities of the Panchayati Raj Institutions, will have an outlay of Rs 5,911 crore, with a share of Rs 3,700 crore and Rs 2,211 for Centre and states.

The funding pattern will be in the ratio of 60:40 among Centre and states, except for Northeastern states, hilly states and J&K, where Central and state share will be 90:10. However, for other UTs, Central share will be 100 per cent. —

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).
