Basant Panchami holds importance for students as Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge. The school celebrated the day with its students. Yellow colour is considered auspicious during the time of Basant Panchami as it is the time of spring when mustard crops are harvested. In recognition of this, students offered yellow flowers to Goddess Saraswati. Yellow ‘prasadam’ was distributed among all those present on the occasion.

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).
