Students and teachers together honoured Indian culture, victory of truth over falsehood and the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi.

The little children of the kindergarten section came dressed up as characters related to Dasehra, like Ram, Sita, Ravana, etc. They were given the message of victory of truth over falsehood and brotherhood. On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Bapu’s contribution was appreciated and students of senior classes sang songs. They were told how Mahatma Gandhi contributed to the freedom of the country by adopting non-violence.

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).
