The astronomy Olympiad orientation and selection camp is being held at IISER to provide training to students selected through national level exams and also test their understanding of concepts and techniques in astronomy and astrophysics.

A total of 54 students were selected for Astronomy Astronomy Olympiad Orientation Cum Selection Camp from close to 500 students after the Indian National Astronomy Olympiad. A team of five students will be selected to represent the country in the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2025 to be held in Mumbai in August.

The camp consists of lectures, tutorials, telescope setup and handling and sky observation sessions.

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).
