Ludhiana, December 17

Punjab ranks second across the country as far as average monthly income per agricultural household is concerned. This has been revealed in a data produced by Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Narendra Singh Tomar in the Rajya Sabha on Friday.

The Minister gave this information in reply to a question about the income of farmers asked by Rajya Sabha MP from Ludhiana Sanjeev Arora.

As per the data, Meghalaya tops the country with average monthly income per agricultural household at Rs 29,348, while Punjab ranks second at Rs 26,701.

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).
