Chess and Balwadi Sevikas
“Bhugi polonuch shikatoli” Balvadi sevikas participated in our “Train-
the-Trainers” 5 day Chess Training Workshop were discussing between themselves.
If Balvadi Sewikas learn Chess then it will benefit all children from poor
families. Chess is a good tonic at young age. Talented child will get good
opportunity to perform. Chess is game which can be self developed and very
cheap which help to develop Concentration, logical thinking and decision making
abilities and also a good learning tool .
Chess Activity Centre has design a 5 day program to teach Balwadi Sevikas about
basics of Chess. Two such workshop were held at Dona Paula and Ponda in this
April. 33 sevikas took part in this program. These sevikas had experience range
from 2 years to 30 years. Attitude of all these sevikas was very positive and
they were thrilled to learn chess. All of them attended workshop in the
evening, not in their official time, spending their own money.
All of them learn Pawn Game efficiently. They now also know about en passant
move. Its a simple game with only with 8 Pawns with both side. Aim is to get
your Pawn to last rank, whoever reaches first is a winner. They also learn King
and Pawn game, wherein Pawn after reaching last rank upgrade to Queen and
checkmate opponent with the help of King and Queen.
They also learn how each peace, King, Queen, Rook Bishop, Knight moves. They
also learn basic of organising Chess tournament. With few days of practice
Balwadi Sevikas will know to play chess and pass on the knowledge of Chess to
poor children.
Balwadi Sevikas are most ignored working women in our educational system who
nurtured future of poor section families. Children from poor families are under
Balwadi Sevikas for first six years. our Chess Activity Centre has offered
this service free to Balwadi Sevikas. We also expect your cooperation and help
from other organisations, institutions, clubs, Churches, Temples, Sarvajanik
Ganeshostav Mandals, Carnival, Shomgostav, Housing Socities, Industrialists
etc.
