Chandigarh: Technical Education Minister Charanjit Channi on Friday sought the implementation of the state’s reservation policy for weaker sections of society in regulations governing setting up of private universities.

At the Cabinet meet, he said private universities, by virtue of being autonomous bodies set up under the Punjab Private University Policy, must give mandatory reservation to weaker sections.

The issue came up when the Cabinet approved establishment of private self-financed ‘Lamrin Tech Skills University’ at Railmajra in Balachaur, Nawanshahr, to strengthen industry-oriented teaching, skill training and research. It also gave nod to re-promulgate the ‘Plaksha University, Punjab Ordinance-2021’ for setting up private self-financed Plaksha University in Mohali’s IT city. — 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).
