SBR DAV Public School, Talwandi Bhai, organised a special morning assembly to mark World Population Day and Vana Mahotsav. The event featured powerful speeches by students addressing the challenges posed by overpopulation and highlighting the crucial need for tree plantation. A thought-provoking skit was also staged, creatively illustrating the adverse effects of deforestation and rapid population growth. The assembly concluded with a pledge by students and staff to protect the environment and promote sustainable living practices. Principal Jaswinder Kaur, in her address, encouraged students to plant more trees and take responsibility for building a greener future.

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).
