Chess Awareness Camp for School children at Institute of Academic Excellence
RCCP conducted this project in association with SAIRINDHREE, a local NGO and BACK TO LIFE FOUNDATION.
The Institute for Academic Excellence (B.Ed and D.El.Ed) college was established in 2012 and is run by SAIRINDHREE at Imampatna, Narayangarh, Paschim Medinipur. It also runs a Bengali medium secondary boarding school and nursery school at Narayangarh for needy students. Present student strength is more than 800 in school and 300 in college at Narayangarh.
SAIRINDHREE requested for a program on mental health development. RCCP, along with eminent international chess coach, introduced chess and its usefulness to the students. The session showcased chess as a tool for intellect building, focus building and as an alternative to mobile surfing. Basic chess moves were taught to the students.
