Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said his government has targeted to set up 118 schools of eminence, for which Rs 231.74 crore has been spent so far.

“These schools will serve as temples of the modern era, illuminating lives of thousands of students. It is a matter of pride and satisfaction that students of private schools are now seeking admissions to these schools,” said the CM after interacting with students of Shaheed Subedar Mewa Singh School of Eminence in Morinda.

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).
