The school organised a special assembly under the guidance of Principal Rajinder Kumar as part of its commitment to spreading awareness among students on the harmful effects of drug abuse. The activity was conducted under the Buddy Programme initiated by the Punjab Government. During the assembly, students took a solemn pledge on “Yudh Nashe Virudh”, promising to stay away from drugs and to encourage others to lead a healthy and positive lifestyle. The event highlighted the importance of making wise choices and building a strong, drug-free society. To further strengthen the message, a poster-making activity was also conducted on the theme “Yudh Nashe Virudh”. Students expressed their creativity and concern through thought-provoking posters that conveyed strong messages against drug addiction.

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).
