A large-scale tree plantation drive was organised by the school. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from students of Class XII, staff and members of the local community. At least 150 saplings, known for their environmental benefits and adaptability to the region, were planted. The drive was inaugurated by Abhishek Sharma, Beat officer, Forest Department, who emphasised the importance of trees in maintaining ecological balance, reducing carbon footprints and enhancing biodiversity. Principal V J Nagesh said that planting trees is one of the most effective ways to fight environmental degradation.

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).
