National Deworming Day was observed in The Century School, Gharaunda, under the guidance of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW). On the day every student of Class I to XII was given a dose of Albendazole table (400mg), which is compulsory as per the MOHFW guidelines to protect children and adolescents from intestinal worms, also known as Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH). A total 989 students, which included 363 girls and 626 boys, were administered the medicines. The programme was carried out smoothly with cooperation of teachers and staff members

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).
