The border district has been chosen for a Rs 5-crore award for its outstanding performance in the “Overall” category under the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP) by the NITI Aayog.

Deputy Commissioner Deepshikha Sharma said that aayog’s Chief Executive Officer BVR Subrahmanyam has lauded achievements of the district administration and the Central Prabhari Officer (CPO) for improvement in key performance indicators.

“To utilise the granted funds, the administration has formulated a comprehensive plan in coordination with state authorities and the CPO. The final approval for the proposal will be taken by the Empowered Committee of Secretaries overseeing the Aspirational Districts and Blocks Programme,” said the DC.

“The award money will be spent on development works in various areas,” said the DC.

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).
