Fizan Ahil of class x was qualified to take part in the National School Chess Championship held at New Delhi on 29th

prestigious feather on his cap; the entry in to the national squad to represent India in the World Chess Championship to be held
in October 2019. Fizan Ahil achieved this stunning feat after defeating Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, UP and Assam. The Felicitation
