Paragon Convent School, Chandigarh, celebrated Van Mahotsav, the annual tree plantation festival. The event aimed to spread the message of environmental conservation and the importance of trees in maintaining ecological balance. Principal Rajni Dutta inaugurated the plantation drive along with students and teachers. Different species of plants and saplings like neem and flowering plants were planted under the guidance of teachers and gardening staff. The school also organised a poster-making competition on the theme "Save Trees and Save Life".

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).
