AICF Urgent General Body on 04 May 2024:Indian chess’s Rs 65 crore blueprint.

AICF Admin 1 year ago

After a history-making month for Indian chess, the All India Chess Federation unveiled a host of initiatives to further popularise the sport in India, and revealed a whopping budget of Rs 65 crore.

The key initiatives discussed on the occasion were aimed at strengthening the Indian chess ecosystem by providing financial and institutional support for pro as well as grassroots-level players.

The launch of programs such as the AICF Pro for national-level players and AICF Popular will make the vision of “Har Ghar Chess” a reality across households.

Several proposals including a chess development fund, introducing strong financial backing with player contracts and coaching at all levels, financially supporting district and state associations, setting up a State-of-the-art National Chess Arena (NCA) for elite-level training and an AICF Rating system specifically for India will serve as ground-breaking initiatives and drive growth for the Indian chess ecosystem over the coming years.
