The festival of Janamashtami celebrations were spread over two days. On day 1, a fancy dress competition was held for students of classes I to V. The little ones dressed up as Krishna, Radha, Vasudev, Devki, Kans, Sudhama and other mythological characters. The festivity continued on day 2 as well as students of classes VI to XII accorded a floral welcome to Thakurji. This was followed by a dandia performance by Class X students. A magical dance-drama showcasing the life of Lord Krishna was enacted by students of classes XI and XII. Students of Class VI presented a dance while Class V students recited Kabir’s dohas. Members of the ISKCON were also present on the occasion. A quiz, singing and rangoli-making competitions for students of Class VI, VII and VIII, respectively were held on the second day of celebrations.

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).
