To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a national-level Olympiad was organised for students in classes VIII, IX, and XI to foster interest in meteorology. The school’s Class VIII student Diya Gupta was recognised as the state-level topper. She was then invited to take part in the national exam at the IMD headquarters in Delhi, coinciding with IMD’s grand 150th celebration at Bharat Mandapam, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During the event, Diya also had the chance to explore the observatory and gain insights into advanced weather forecasting technologies.

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).
