Great initiative by AICF President Nitin Narang sir. Supporting young talents and empowering the future of Indian chess. This initiative is a game changer for the aspiring players.🙏🙏
For the first time in the history of Indian Chess, quarterly stipends ranging from ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000, totalling ₹42,30,000 for the first quarter of 2025, have been disbursed to 42 top players across the U-7 to U-19 categories (both open and girls), based on their performance in last year’s nationals. This is part of a total outlay of ₹6,15,60,000 under this scheme.
These stipends will support players’ coaching and travel needs, enabling them to compete globally and pursue higher goals with confidence.
Taking inspiration from Aadarniya PM Shri @narendramodi ji’s call to empower athletes at the grassroots, the All India Chess Federation has moved from vision to delivery.
This marks the implementation of a key component of the national chess development blueprint I presented as President of AICF designed to nurture talent and create robust support systems.
Together, we are building the foundation for a new era of Indian chess.
