The school inaugurated The Children's Suitcase Library - a global reading initiative promoting SDG 4: Quality Education. David Rose, founder of the initiative, along with his son Wilf, presented books and letters from students in Halifax, UK. Our students read letters and responded with great enthusiasm, thus building meaningful global connections. This will be followed up with an online meeting between the students, which will further enhance international collaboration between the schools. Madhu Mishra, Senior Adviser, British High Commission, and Pramod Sharma, Founder of Yuvsatta, addressed the students, encouraging them to read, connect and grow as global citizens. Council Members, teachers, and student volunteers actively contributed to the event's success.

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).
