Chandigarh, November 6

As many as 2,000 students from government and non-government schools across the tri-city took part in an on-the-spot painting competition organised by the North Zone Cultural Centre (NZCC), Ministry of Culture, Government of India, to mark its 38th Foundation Day at Kalagram today.

Entries for the on-the-spot painting competition were invited from students from LKG to XII classes. The participants were assigned a range of topics to dwell on, such as ‘Play with colours’, ‘Draw and paint any bird’, ‘Draw your favourite cartoon’, ‘My school’, ‘Jungle scene’, ‘Street performer’ and ‘Symphonies of Seasons’, among others.

The event in-charge, Yashwinder Sharma, said, “The winners will be presented with prizes and awarded with mementoes and merit certificates.”

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).
