Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains on Sunday said students of government schools in the state had once again proved their prowess as 474 of them cleared the highly competitive National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) this year.

He said earlier 265 students from government schools qualified the JEE (Mains) while 44 cleared the JEE (Advanced) this year.

“The impressive performance of our students in competitive exams is a shining example of our government’s focus on quality education. The remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about the hard work of our students and the dedication of their teachers,” he added.

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).
