New Delhi, January 6

The participation of girl cadets in the National Cadet Corps (NCC) has more than doubled in the past decade, the DG (NCC), Lt Gen Gurbirpal Singh said on Friday.

General Singh said the strength of women in the NCC was around 13 per cent in 2010, which had gone up to around 35 per cent this year. He listed states such as Delhi, Kerala and those in the North-East for having higher number of girls, some states having almost 50 per cent girl cadets. NCC cadets from all over the country have gathered in Delhi for the Republic Day camp.

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).
