Anand is also trying to contribute to the game by popularizing the game in every nook and corner of India. Recently he has started a Chess Academy in Agartala in association with National Institute of Information Technology. The academy was inaugurated by Anand and the Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar. The minds Champions Academy will train students between 6-15 year of age and would cover 28 government schools in the state. A laudable effort indeed.
