Patiala, March 29

Students and teachers from various states today decried the New Education Policy (NEP), saying that it was an outline of privatisation and commercialisation. They were participating at the North Indian Zonal Convention, organised by the All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) at Punjabi University, Patiala. The participants included visitors from Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, among others.

According to the speakers, the NEP-2020 was an outline of privatisation, commercialisation, communication, centralisation, and rationalisation of education. They said the Centre and state governments were hell-bent on implementing the policy.

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).
