On Monday, December 23, Indian chess star Tania Sachdev took to X (formerly Twitter) to point out how the Aam Aadmi Party Government in Delhi doesn’t support Chess athletes from the city-state.
Tania Sachdev wrote, “Having played for India since 2008 It’s disheartening to see a lack of recognition from the Delhi government for achievements in chess.” She further highlighted how support from other state governments has propelled their players to achieve great success in chess.
Having played for India since 2008 It’s disheartening to see a lack of recognition from the Delhi government for achievements in chess. States that support and celebrate their champions, directly inspire excellence and motivate talent. Sadly, Delhi has yet to take this step

Tania Sachdev won a historic team bronze and even an individual medal in the 2022 Chess Olympiad. She did even better in 2024 as she returned with a historic Gold from the Chess Olympiad. However, the state government is yet to acknowledge her accomplishments or recognise her for the same.
