North India needs to catch up pace with South India in the field of Startups and Entrepreneurship, said Union Minister, Dr Jitendra Singh on Saturday at the national launch of ‘Campus Tank’, India’s university-led startup launchpad, hosted by Chandigarh University. MP and Chancellor of Chandigarh University, Satnam Singh Sandhu, said, “With ease of doing business, tax benefits, early stage funding support through Rs 10,000 crore Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) and sector-specific policies, the Startup India initiative has played a key role in shaping a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country. We are working to realise the target of having 5000 Unicorns in India given by the government.”

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).
