A three-day book fair and literary festival, organised by Vidya Bharati Punjab, concluded successfully at Sharda Sarvhitkari Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 40-D, Chandigarh. The final day began with the lighting of the lamp, Saraswati Vandana, and bhajans.The inaugural session was attended by Vijay Nadda, founder of the North Zone Organisation Minister; Rajiv, Assistant Director of Education Department, Punjab; and Manish, General Secretary of Sarvhitkari Prakashak Samiti. Nadda said schools have a responsibility not only to educate but also to organise events that promote social and national uplift. He stressed that receiving a good book at the right time can be life-changing. Around 3,000 people were benefitted from the literary festival and 2500 books were sold.

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).
