Our Mission

What is Our Mission

At Mission Chess for Change, our purpose is simple yet profound:
to use chess as a tool to awaken thinking, confidence, and courage in every child — especially those who are often left behind.

We believe that a chessboard is more than 64 squares; it is a classroom of life where children learn to observe, to decide, to imagine, and to believe in their own abilities. Through chess, a child discovers something priceless — the quiet realisation that their mind has power.

Bring free chess education

Bring free, high-quality chess education

to rural, tribal, and underprivileged children across India.

Create learning opportunities

Create equal learning opportunities

so that every child, irrespective of economic background, can access world-class training.

Nurture life skills

focus, patience, discipline, problem-solving, and resilience.

Empower girls

through mind-sport education, inspiring them to think fearlessly and dream bigger.

Build a culture of thinking

Nurture life skills

where children learn not only how to play chess, but how to face life’s challenges with clarity and dignity.

Every workshop we conduct, every school we visit, every tutorial we upload — all of it carries one belief:
When a child learns to think better, their entire life begins to change.

This mission is not just an initiative.
It is a movement of hope — one child, one school, one chessboard at a time.
