Rakshita Thakur, a Class VI student from Auckland House School, has been selected to represent the state at the National Karate Championship.

She qualified for the tournament after she won a gold medal at the state-level event held recently at Baijnath. The championship was organised by the Karate Association of Himachal Pradesh and witnessed participation from around 300 players, representing all 12 districts of the state.

During the championship, she displayed exceptional skill, confidence, and determination and delivered an impressive performance throughout the tournament.

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).
