Japanese company Toppan Speciality Films Private Limited (TSF) has signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with the Punjab Government, committing to invest Rs 400 crore in the state.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who is on a tour to Japan, said the TSF and Invest Punjab had agreed to support and collaborate in initiating a Skilling Excellence Centre in Punjab. It would train skilled and semi-skilled workers, besides focusing on high-end technical skills to meet global standards, he added.

The MoA would also facilitate apprenticeship opportunities, besides generating job avenues in TSF and big units in Punjab and across India. Mann said it would also lay thrust on academic collaboration in terms of joint development and delivery of training with a polytechnic or technical institute.

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).
