The Krishnagiri District Chess Association (KDCA) conducted State Level Chess Tournament at Adhiyamaan College Of Engineering, Hosur on 20th and 21st August 2011. Around 115 children of different age groups from different places across Tamilnadu participated. The competition was conducted at Under-7, Under-9, Under-11, Under-13 and Under-15 levels.
The tournament was inaugurated by Mr. Prashanth M. Wadnere, IAS, Sub-Collector, Hosur.
On the dias, we had the following dignitaries
Mr. Prashanth M. Wadnere, IAS
Dr. Ranganath, Principal, Adhiyamaan College Of Engineering, Hosur
Mr. Ganesan, Proprietar, Modern Furnitures, Hosur
Mr. Jayapala Chandady, Founder President, KDCA
Mrs. Devi, Secretary, KDCA
After an inspiring speech from the sub-collector and the principal, the tournament got kick started officially.
I had the privilege of spending some good time with Prashanth Wadnere, IAS and Dr. Ranganath. We shared our thoughts about Hosur, Chess, education, culture, social service etc. Dr. Ranganath was kind enough to offer some tea and snacks in his office which I had along with Prashanth. This is my first experience with two eminent personalities which made my heart fill with joy. Thanks to Mr. Jayapala Chandady for giving me an opportunity.
Dr. Ranganath was kind enough to take us around the newly constructed library at Adhiyamaan College. The modern building with a huge collection of more than one lakh books and digital library can be accessed by students from their home. They can pick and choose any book that they want and reserve them from home. That is awesome! Thanks to Dr. Ranganath's efforts to make this library a dream come true for the students and staff of Adhiyamaan College.
More than Chess, the children befriended with each other and had lot of fun. We worked like a family to make this tournament a grand success.
I had the previlige of meeting more eminent personalities the next day. I will be blogging more on this later.
