The Chief Guest, Yogacharya Mary Cecil, an Assistant Professor and HOD-Yoga encouraged the participants with her rich repertoire of experience.

SHATRANJ was an unforgettable experience of testing the concentration level and problem solving skills of the players. As it is said, “Move in silence, only speak when it's time to say checkmate.”
The spirit of togetherness embodied this inter school competition and upheld the sportive mindset of the participants. This grand inter school competition provided the students with the golden opportunity to showcase their skills in yoga and chess.
