We are delighted to share that the DSO Maval Taluka Level Chess Competition was successfully completed after an intense and highly competitive 7-round battle of minds. With every move, our young chess players displayed exceptional focus, determination, and sporting spirit.

Heartiest Congratulations to Our Chess Champions!

Their outstanding performances have earned them a well-deserved selection for the District Level Chess Competition.

Their achievement is a shining example of how dedication and consistent effort can transform challenges into milestones.

At Podar International School, Talegaon, we celebrate not only victories but also the qualities that make our students true champions—discipline, strategic thinking, resilience, confidence, and the courage to keep moving forward.
