Patiala, May 7

Senior Secondary Model School, Punjabi University, Patiala, celebrated World Red Cross Day and Rabindernath Tagore’s birthday with full enthusiasm today. NCC cadet Mandeep Kaur made the students aware of origin of Red Cross movement and prominent personalities associated with it.

ANO Satvir Singh Gill threw light on the life and contribution of Rabindernath Tagore. Principal Balwinder Kaur told the students how pupils used to study in Shantiniketan. Renowned Punjabi poet Shiv Kumar Batalvi was also remembered in view of his death anniversary on Friday.

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).
