The GD Goenka Public School, Vasant Kunj, has launched Delhi NCR’s first electric school bus pilot programme in partnership with VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV). The pilot programme will feature the Eicher Skyline Pro E 3012, a premium electric school bus designed to provide top-tier safety and comfort. The initiative aims to evaluate the operational efficiency of electric buses, including charging cycles, maintenance, and student satisfaction, with the goal of eventually transitioning the entire school bus fleet to 100 percent electric. Nipun Goenka, Managing Director of GD Goenka Group, said, “We believe this is a critical step in fostering environmental stewardship among our students.”

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).
