Young readers take the stage

The Tribune is organising the Tricity’s first-ever inter-school newspaper reading competition aimed at cultivating a love for reading and awareness of current events among students. This is the perfect opportunity for the students to showcase their confidence, clarity and articulation. The competition is being held in two categories — Junior category (classes V-VIII) and senior category (classes IX-XII). Selected students from each category will advance to the finale. Manav Rachna University is the title sponsor and Krishna IAS Academy is the co-sponsor of the event. Intra-school competitions were held.
