St Edward’s School, Shimla, recently celebrated its senior school annual function, Festivista-2025. The celebrations commenced at the school ground with a ceremonial flag entry, followed by the school anthem and march past by NCC cadets, after which Naik Mangal Man Gurung of 4/1 Gurkha Rifles was felicitated for his support.

A cultural showcase dived into the 100-year journey of the school, culminating in ‘Yugam – A Spectrum of Time’, a thematic presentation.

Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau Inspector General of Police Bimal Gupta State, and alumnus of the 1989 batch, was the chief guest at the event, and planted a tree on the occasion. In his address, Gupta recalled his Edwardian days, exhorting students to uphold the values of discipline.

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).
