In a unique effort to provide constructive holiday engagement and promote cognitive development among school students, the Department of Education, Andaman and Nicobar Administration, will be organizing a Free Chess Summer Camp-2025 across all nine Educational Zones of the Islands. The camp will run from May 5 to June 4, 2025, and is open to students from various government schools across the territory.
The chess camp will be held daily from 9 am to 12 noon at selected venues throughout the islands. It is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of chess in an engaging and interactive manner. The initiative aims not only to make productive use of students’ summer break but also to cultivate a long-term interest in the game. It is hoped that the camp will help identify talented players who can later participate in inter-school and state-level chess competitions.
Master Trainers will lead the sessions, employing a mix of interactive lessons, hands-on demonstrations, and friendly mini-tournaments to ensure that learning is both fun and effective.
Students interested in participating are encouraged to register by May 4, 2025, by contacting the designated coordinators at their respective venues. Below are the details of the camp venues and contact persons for each educational zone:
