To promote environmental awareness and foster a sense of responsibility towards nature, Ankur School, Chandigarh, celebrated Van Mahotsav by organising a plantation drive on the school campus. The programme was conducted under the guidance of Principal Aruna Dhiman, Headmistress Savita Sharma, teachers and the dedicated members of the Penguin Eco Club. The Principal appreciated the enthusiastic participation of students and staff and encouraged everyone to care for the planted saplings so that they grow into healthy trees.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
