Chandigarh, August 26

Punjab is aiming to increase the renewable energy share to 30 per cent. As per the Punjab Vision Document-2030 prepared by the Punjab Energy Development Agency, the state’s renewable energy share currently stands at only 12.5 per cent of the total energy needs. The state has committed to increase it to 30 per cent by 2030.

With an objective to discuss the State Energy Action Plan being developed under Indo-German Energy Access-II programme, a consultation workshop was organised at the PEDA office here.

On the occasion, PEDA director MP Singh emphasised on continuous efforts utilise clean and low-carbon energy.

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).
