The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in partnership with AIIMS New Delhi, launched an offline wellness training programme under 'Project MATE' (Mind Activation Through Education), focusing on adolescent mental health. Running from August 26-30, the pilot trains around 50 counsellors from CBSE-affiliated schools in Delhi-NCR.

The initiative aims to boost emotional resilience, coping skills, and peer support through. CBSE Chairperson Rahul Singh highlighted the rising mental health challenges among students in today’s fast-paced world. AIIMS Director Dr M Srinivas called it a “transformative collaboration” blending health and education.

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).
