"Today, the Delhi Government felicitated @TaniaSachdev, a proud Delhiite and a key member of the Indian team that clinched Gold at the 45th Chess Olympiad 2024. She also played chess with some of our young and upcoming chess champions from Delhi Govt schools!

"When we embark on a journey in any field, we look for role models. For Delhi's young champions, Tania is that inspiration. Today's felicitation isn't just about honouring her--it's about motivating students, especially young girls, to follow in her footsteps and aim for gold."
