About the Fit India Movement

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Fit India Movement on August 29, 2019, at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi, coinciding with National Sports Day. It aims to inspire citizens to prioritise fitness and inclusion of physical activities and sports into their daily routines.

Since then, it has gained momentum, with educational institutions, government bodies, and citizens actively taking part in various fitness-related activities and events over the years to foster a culture of health and well-being across the country.​
