The school launched the tree-plantation campaign 'Vriksh Vandana Maa Ko Arpan' as part of the government-driven initiative 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0', commemorating World Environment Day. The campaign aimed at encouraging students to plant saplings dedicated to their mother and Mother Nature alike. The school provided guidelines encouraging the selection of indigenous and seasonal trees such as 'neem', mango, 'peepal', banyan, 'jamun', 'gulmohar' and 'ashoka'. The campaign was inaugurated when Principal Rachna Monga planted the first sapling on the campus along with her mother Asha Rani.

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).
