AKSIPS-45 Smart School, Chandigarh, proudly celebrated the achievement of Vandana of Class VIII, who secured the first prize in the Personification: Poetry Recitation Competition held during Heritage Day & Van Mahotsava 2026 at St John's High School, Sector 26, Chandigarh. Her outstanding performance, portraying an indigenous tree of Chandigarh, reflected creativity, confidence and a deep sense of awareness. School Principal Pamila Kaur congratulated her on this well-deserved success and appreciated her talent, hard work and dedication.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
