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
