The Education Department has introduced a psychometric test for Class X girl students at government schools to analyse their mental abilities, interests and personality traits so that they could be guided to make informed career choices.

Education Minister Harjot Bains said 93,819 girl students will be covered by March 31 under the initiative, for which a total of Rs. 6.56 crore has been allocated by the State Council of Educational Research and Training. To ensure its smooth implementation, district-level committees have been formed under the leadership of district education officers (secondary) across the state. These committees will oversee the testing process.

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).
