Jalandhar, June 15

Governor of Punjab and Chancellor of Universities in the state Banwari Lal Purohit has appointed Dr Susheel Mittal as the Vice-Chancellor of IK Gujral Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar. The appointment has been made for a period of three years.

The names of two other academicians Dr Siby John and Dr HS Bains were also in the three-member final panel that was sent to the Governor’s office.

It is after 22 months that the varsity has got a regular VC. The post had fallen vacant after Dr Ajay Kumar Sharma had relinquished the charge. Presently, Dr Mittal is serving as the Vice-Chancellor of Shaheed Bhagat Singh State University, Gurdaspur.

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).
