Mann Ki Baat
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised India's dedication to the Fit India movement, underscoring how nation's commitment to fitness remains steadfast, regardless of the season.
Modi also announced that this year, due to Diwali, the Run for Unity, typically held on October 31 in honour of Sardar Patel's birth anniversary, will be celebrated on October 29. He urged the people to participate, promoting unity and fitness.
Speaking during the 115th episode of his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, Modi remarked, “Winter has set in across much of the country, but the enthusiasm for fitness under Fit India isn’t swayed by weather.
People committed to fitness stay active through winter, summer, or rain. It’s wonderful to see more people visiting parks. I feel delighted seeing elders, youngsters, and families doing yoga together.”
Recalling his Yoga Day experience in Srinagar, he noted, “Despite rain, a large crowd turned out for yoga. I saw the same enthusiasm in the recent Srinagar Marathon. This spirit of Fit India is now a mass movement.”
The PM lauded schools for prioritising students’ fitness, highlighting the Fit India School Hours initiative, where schools dedicate their first period to fitness. “In many schools, children do yoga one day, aerobics the next, and play traditional games like Kho-Kho and Kabaddi. This has led to increased attendance, better concentration, and more joy among kids,” he added.
