In collaboration with The Tribune, Chandigarh, the young subscribers of grades VII-X of St Joseph’s Senior Secondary School, Sector 44-D, Chandigarh, were taken for an excursion to Bestech Square Mall, Mohali, for the screening of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ movie. Consumed with joy and curiosity, the buses were abuzz with excitement for a movie day with friends. With popcorn on the left and drinks on the right, the students were in for a three-hour journey of mirthful laughter, moments of introspection and the absorption of a deeper message conveyed so effortlessly by the commendable star cast. The acknowledgement of the need to normalise and include children with Down Syndrome and autism was a subject beautifully brought to the screen through the medium of the cinematic arts.

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).
