Why Memory as a sport?

Our ability to remember is being eroded day by day. Most of the students are not aware of scientific methods of memorisation, hence they are going through lot of stress and failure. Be it a student or a professional or any adult, memory is at the heart of everything we do –  academics, examinations, communication, creativity, and thinking – indeed it is the root of our existence. Hence, there is a need to train and practice memory as a sport, as a hobby so that we remain active throughout our life. Participation in this Memory championship will give an opportunity for the students to master these techniques and excel in their examinations.

Approximately 300 plus students/ adults and professionals are expected to participate in this Championship. The idea is to promote Memory Sports in India and Show Case India’s brain power to the world. Learning and practicing these Memory techniques will help students/ participants to understand their brain functionality better and there by learn to use it effectively in their studies. Students can use these techniques to easily remember their text books for their academic success. Alternately, this will also help build India with positive mind power and mentally healthy nation. The aim is to produce a World Memory Champion from our country in few years from now.
