As many as 60 NSS volunteers of GSSS Dhaneta, Hamirpur, planted saplings of various plant species, including herbal, ornamental and fruit plants, within the campus and its periphery. This initiative aimed to support the 'Ek Ped Maan Ke Naam' campaign, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The volunteers pledged to plant more trees to make the planet greener and healthier. Principal Raj Kumar Singh motivated them to serve nature, quoting Margaret Thatcher's words, “No generation has a freehold on this earth. All we have is a life tenancy - with a full repairing lease”. NSS Programme Officers Suman Bala and Rakesh Chand, along with teachers Mukesh Kumar, Pushpender and Rajni Bala guided the volunteers in nurturing the plants to ensure their survival.

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).
