The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has decided to provide Rs 2,500 monthly pension, free education to children and money for girls’ marriage to Sikh families who have lost the breadwinner to Covid-19.

DSGMC chief Manjinder Singh Sirsa, flanked by DSGMC general secretary Harmeet Singh Kalka, said Sikh children whose father had passed away due to Covid would be provided free education in Guru Harkrishan Public Schools of the DSGMC.

Those who wanted to pursue higher education would be provided free education in DSGMC colleges affiliated with Delhi University. — TNS

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).
