Aayra Nain, a Class XII student and volunteer at Paryatan Foundation, Hisar, has taken the initiative to promote women's hygiene in her community. Through her PAD Bank initiative, Aayra provides free sanitary pads to economically weaker section women and girls.

Aayra's awareness programme, which connects with girl students and educates them about women's hygiene, has been a success. She said the initiative had not only empowered young girls but also inspired the boys in the organisation to take action.

The boys have started donating one pad on their birthday, promoting a sense of community involvement and social responsibility, she added.

Aayra's selfless efforts have made a significant impact in her community and her initiative serves as a shining example of the power of youth-led social change, said Anil Kumar, director of the Paryatan Foundation.

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).
