The newspaper is a movement built around a weekly 16-page newspaper that is written by students and is for students. At its heart lies a 600-strong force of Tiger reporters who, with the training and guidance from the editorial team, decide the content of the newspaper. TTIS gives students the platform to participate in producing the publication by giving a first-hand training to the students to c
onduct an interview, reporting, reviewing, writing and editing. TTIS teaches the young to have a voice through the sections like letters to the editor, 'Open Forum', 'Big Question' and more. TTIS is spun around the tagline 'A head start for growing minds', thus instilling in each student the will to be a confident individual as they grow to be the future citizens of the country. TTIS continuously works upon involving the student fraternity, making them confident and enterprising individuals by constant motivation. Events, workshops and activities are an important part of TTIS as students come together and participate, encouraging the feeling of sharing and caring irrespective of their backgrounds. A variety of events come under the platforms of TTIS Sports, TTIS Brains, TTIS Fun, TTIS Care, TTIS Celebrations. Apart from events and activities, TTIS has made its presence strongly felt through radio, SMS, websites, books and school contact programmes.
