During the training, the department would provide a stipend of Rs 1,250 per student per month. Meanwhile, the company would also provide Rs 1,250 per student. Thus, each student would get Rs 2,500 per month.

The training would be imparted after completion of their annual examination and school heads had been asked to fill consent proforma of students.

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).
