The MindChampions Academy, a not-for-profit initiative, was set up as a joint initiative with the Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand and NIIT Ltd, with the objective of promoting chess in schools to enable development of young minds. Currently, over a million students in more than 5000 schools across India are benefiting from this initiative. Since 2003, the Academy has fostered nearly 5280 schools with over 100,000 students as its members, in schools across the country. GM Viswanathan Anand has personally traveled to Agartala, Guwahati, Hyderbad, Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and other cities across India, to encourage school students to start playing.
