Chandigarh, September 3

Aarush and Rushil, both students of Strawberry Fields High School, Sector 26, won the Global Youth Action Fund (GYAF) award for 2023, for their project “house of udyog” as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme. The award is open to students in the age group 12 to 19 for a project or idea that will make an impact in their community.

Over 500 applications from 48 countries were received, of which 101 were awarded a grant of $3,000. “The house of udyog’s selection for the prestigious GYAF is a testament to the increasing significance of social entrepreneurship in solving community-identified problems and driving a positive change,” said Nisha Kaul, Principal, Strawberry Fields High School.

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).
