The government has released Rs 55.45 crore as the state’s share for the financial year 2024-25 under the Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme for Scheduled Caste (SC) Students. This will benefit 86,583 students.
Dr Baljit Kaur, Minister for Social Justice, Empowerment and Minorities, said the amount would help the SC students. The minister also mentioned that the financial assistance was directly transferred to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
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).
