Patiala, May 12

Punjabi University, Patiala, has appointed Prof Yashpal Sharma, a faculty member at the department of music, as the Dean, Academics. Sharma, who has remained the judge of famous TV show ‘Awaaz Punjab Di’, has 34 years of experience in music and teaching. He has specialisation in Indian classical vocal, light vocal (ghazal) and gurmat sangeet.

He is functioning as convener of a committee at the department of youth welfare on the campus. Before this, he has functioned as dean, faculty of arts and culture, and HoD music.

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).
