Amal Kumar Verma, IAS, Principal Secretary, Cooperative, launched B&W Chess Club website and scholastic chess teaching programme for kids and teenagers in Lucknow today.
Mr Verma said, “Teaching life skills through chess is popular in America and Europe. This is a great personality development module for children and youngsters who have to plan their careers and excel in this highly competitive world. Chess teaches us patience, time-management, courage, control over emotions, planning, critical thinking and much more. All these skills come handy in our personal and professional life. I congratulate B&W for bringing this course to India.”
