JAMMU: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana urged people to learn lessons from the game of chess, pointing out that it’s not just about strategy and patience to win, but also about the intricacies of life. During the opening of IDPS Checkmate – The Grand Chess Fiesta at the International Delhi Public School, Rana stated that the decisions a person makes in life and the level of foresight they develop are reflected in this mental game. “We all need to learn chess because it develops mental acuity, fosters strategic reasoning, and promotes cognitive agility,” he stated. He went on to say that the fact that students from different schools were competing shows how important sports are in today’s world.Devender Rana praised the International Delhi Public Schools in Jammu and Kashmir and stated that bringing revolutionary skills to the educational sector requires concerted and coordinated efforts. As part of their social obligation, he made a strong plea to all of the top private schools to allow kids from underprivileged communities to receive a top-notch education. According to Rana, private schools may greatly enhance the efforts of public sector educational institutions and play a vital role in guaranteeing academic achievement by matching extracurricular activities and specialised curricula to students’ interests and abilities. According to him, these kinds of partnerships can make it easier to share resources, knowledge, and best practices, which will ultimately result in a more complete educational system.According to Rana, Jammu and Kashmir has the capacity to produce strong chess players and the smartest kids who would go on to become world-class chess masters and bring honour to their home state. He continued, “The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, with its promising pool of young and aspiring players, stands poised to contribute significantly to the world of chess.” On this occasion, in attendance were IDPS Chairperson Arunima Choudhary, Pro-Vice Chairman Suminder Singh, Principal Randeep Wazir, Madhu Abrol, School Manager Romy Khajuria, and other individuals.
