A special assembly was held at St Xavier’s High School, Panchkula, to commemorate 150 glorious years of India’s national song, ‘Vande Mataram’. The programme began with a soulful performance of the song, followed by speeches highlighting its significance and role in India’s freedom struggle. The event inspired feelings of patriotism and pride among students and teachers. It reminded everyone of Vande Mataram’s timeless message of love and devotion to the motherland. The celebration concluded with the singing of the national song, creating an atmosphere of unity and national pride.

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).
