Faridkot, July 8

After a gap of 11 years, the state government has increased the annual grant-in-aid to the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) here from Rs 35 crore to Rs 46 crore.

For the last more than a decade, the government did not increase annual grant-in-aid to the only medical university in the state. Dr Raj Bahadur, Vice Chancellor, BFUHS, thanked the government for increasing annual grant-in-aid. The university employees’ union also welcomed the government’s decision.

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).
