The Delhi government is set to introduce counselling services in all government schools, Education Minister Atishi directed the Directorate of Education (DoE) to draft a blueprint.

A pilot study was conducted across 20 schools, where over 20,000 students received counselling services over the past year.The pilot phase saw the involvement of Educational and Vocational Guidance Counselors (EVGC) and school psychologists who provided mental health support to students. Atishi took feedback to understand the challenges and successes of the initiative.

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).
