Blue Bird High School, Panchkula, observed National Eye Donation Awareness Fortnight with a special session conducted by Dr Ashok Gupta, Medical Director of Drishti Eye Hospital.

The session, organised by the Interact Club under Rotary Club Chandigarh Central, was aimed at raising awareness about eye health. Dr Gupta highlighted common vision issues in students, the impact of screen time, and preventive measures such as proper posture, eye exercises, and regular check-ups. Practical advice and an interactive Q&A made the session engaging. Parents were also invited, enhancing the community reach of the initiative.

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).
