Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be launching nation-wide Fit India Movement on Thursday which aims to encourage people to inculcate physical activity and sports in their everyday lives.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday 29th August 2019 launched the ‘Fit India Movement’ and said the initiative, which is the need of the hour, will lead the country towards a healthy future.
“Fitness has always been an integral part of Indian culture. People are nowadays indifferent about their fitness issues. Some decades ago, people would walk around 8 to 10 kilometers every day and do cycling and run regularly. Due to advent of technology physical activity has reduced,” Modi said. Interestingly, the same technology would tell us that we are not walking enough.
“We will take this movement to new heights with the cooperation of my fellow Indians. I am so glad that this movement is being launched on the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand, our hockey wizard.
