New Delhi, June 30

Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised PM Narendra Modi as “a big friend of Russia” and said his “Make in India” initiative has had a “truly impressive effect” on the country’s economy. Putin made these remarks on Thursday during an event in Moscow.

Putin drew on India’s example to encourage domestic products and brands in his own country during his speech. “Our friends in India and PM Modi, a great friend of Russia, a few years ago presented a concept ‘Make in India’. And it has a very visible effect on the Indian economy. It would do no harm to emulate what is working well, even if it was not us but our friends who created it,” said Putin. Crediting Indian leadership for creating an effective model to develop local manufacturing capabilities, Putin emphasised the need to think about “making our products more convenient and functional”.

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).
