Chandigarh, November 5

Twenty-four teams participated in an inter-school competition on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for societal benefits was organised by the Chandigarh branch of the Aeronautical Society of India.

The students highlighted the role of UAVs in project execution plan, firefighting, education in villages, evacuation during disaster management, agriculture and crime prevention. Futuristic ideas like nuclear-powered drones and invisible drones were also presented.

The teams from Ashiana Public School, Sector 46, Shivalik Public School, Mohali, and Smart Wonders School, Sector 71, were declared winners of the contest and awarded cash prizes of Rs 5,000 each.

The presentations were judged by experts from the Defence Research and Development Organisation, the Air Force, the Central Scientific Instruments Organisation and the Punjab Engineering College.

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).
