The event aims to bring awareness about behavioural changes and motivate common people towards a more physically active lifestyle.

Fit India Movement was launched on August 29, 2019, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make fitness an integral part of our daily lives.

“Such initiatives will motivate people to move towards a more physically active lifestyle and stay fit,” Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO-DIAL, said.
