Patiala, May 19

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Punjabi University started a minor degree programme in Computer Science and Engineering and an integrated six-year BTech diploma programme.

The diploma programme aims at attracting students interested in mechanical engineering at a young age so that they can be groomed more effectively over a longer time period. Officials at the department said the new programmes are expected to help reduce rampant brain-drain from the region.

Head of Department Professor Balraj Singh Saini said concurrent with the changing times, the curriculum for mechanical engineering needs to be upgraded. Therefore, the department is offering an optional minor degree programme in Computer Science and Engineering.

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).
