Chandigarh, July 15

Competent Foundation, headed by Sanjay Tandon, in association with the UT Education Department, today organised a school kit distribution programme at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 18.

The programme is aimed to help the students whose parents are not financially strong to provide them the means of education.

A total of 300 EWS students of the city-based government schools would be benefited under the programme.

The kit includes a school bag, water bottle, lunch box, text books (as per NCERT syllabus), notebooks, geometry box and school uniform.

The launch program was attended by UT Adviser Dharam Pal; SS Gill, Secretary, UT Education Department; Mayor Ravi Kant Sharma; local councillor Asha Jaswal and others.

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).
