Amritsar, July 3

The students of all government primary, pre-primary and secondary schools were welcomed back to school after the summer break with music, colourful canvases and dhol beats. As announced by Education Minister Harjot Bains, the two-week summer camp being organised by the Punjab Education Department to help children explore their talent, saw students participating in art workshops, dance and music classes, storytelling sessions and other interactive learning methods. The state government had released Rs 5 crore to buy learning material and host these workshops.

Taking this unique initiative seems to have served well for the schools, especially primary classes. The summer camp will continue till July 15 in all government schools across the district.

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).
