“It’s really encouraging to see the effort put in by The Tribune Publications for honouring and guiding the future of the nation. From counselling sessions to expert interactions, the event saw professionals rising as the guiding force for a brighter future for young students. I must congratulate The Tribune Publications and the organising teams for this successful event,” said Dr Madhu Chitkara, Pro Chancellor, Chitkara University.
“The counselling sessions were the main highlight of the event, where the students were informed about what and how to pick the subjects. The event not only served as a guidance platform, but also acted as an information platform for the students,” said Pritish, a student of a local school.
The Tribune — the most trusted, credible and No.1 English newspaper of North India —had earlier successfully organised Education Expos in 2019, 2023, 2024 and 2025 in Chandigarh.
Recently, a similar event organised by The Tribune in Shimla attracted a huge footfall, with schoolchildren exploring college options.
“It was a unique opportunity for the attendees to explore different education programmes, learn about career options and connect with experts. Such events provide students with valuable insights from experts,” said Shivam, a college student.
On Saturday, Punjab Education Secretary Sonali Giri inaugurated the event.
