In a bid to promote Punjabi language at the global level, the government has decided to organise an International Punjabi Language Olympiad.

Punjab’s School Education and Language Minister Harjot Singh Bains said it would take place online on December 9 and 10. It will consist of 50 objective-type questions to be solved within 40 minutes, carrying a total of 50 marks.

Students who are studying in classes VIII and IX are eligible to take part in it. Apart from Indian students, children from the USA, Australia, Europe and other countries are welcome to take part. The Olympiad will be conducted in six different time zones, each lasting for two hours.

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).
