Gurkirat Singh, an alumnus of the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Armed Forces Preparatory Institute, Mohali, has secured the top position in the arts stream of the 147th course at the National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadakwasla, Maharashtra.

Gurkirat, son of a retired Lance Naik from Amritsar, made it to the NDA on his fourth attempt. He was one of six former cadets of the Mohali institute, who graduated on Saturday, following three years of rigorous training.

The other five are Barjinder Singh, Sukhdev Singh Gill, Yuvraj Singh Tomar, Vinayak Sharma and Kush Pandeya. The passing-out parade was reviewed by the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh.

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).
