    Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis felicitated Divya Deshmukh, the first Indian woman to win the FIDE Women’s World Cup, with a cash reward of Rs 3 crore at 'Nagari Sanman Sohala' ceremony in Nagpur on Saturday.

    Maharashtra Sports Minister Manikrao Shivajirao Kokate was also present on the occasion. During the event, Divya expressed her gratitude to CM Fadnavis and the people of Nagpur for the recognition.

    Last week, 19-year-old Divya etched her name into chess history by defeating Grandmaster Humpy Koneru 1.5–0.5 in the tiebreaks to become the youngest player to win the Women’s World title in Batumi and automatically earn the Grandmaster (GM) title, the highest title in chess.
