Patiala, August 30

A head teacher of Government School, Daana Mandi in Patiala wears the same uniform as her students once a week on Monday to inculcate the same habit among the pupils.

Inderjeet Kaur, the head teacher, who holds a doctorate (PhD) degree in social sciences from Panjab University, Chandigarh, said the government school provides education to underprivileged children, many of whom come from families with limited education and resources. “A number of students from the school used to enter the school without proper dress or a sense of discipline. The first step towards learning is discipline and a sense of identity. These children needed to feel a sense of belongingness and unity. Therefore, I started wearing the school uniform once a week so that they too make it a habit to come to the school in uniform,” she said.

The teacher added, “When students asked me why I was wearing the uniform, I told them that we are a team, and a team wears the same colours to demonstrate its strength.”

She said students started sharing their thoughts and ideas more openly since the day she began wearing the uniform.

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 four 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).
