Fit India School Week 2020
On 29 August 2019, the Honorable Prime Minister launched a nationwide "Fit India Movement" with the aim of encouraging people to develop physical activity and sports in their everyday lives and daily routines.
The school is the first place where habits are formed. School children should be encouraged to join the active area during school time to engage in fitness and sports activities. This will instill understanding in students for regular physical activity and a high level of fitness, thereby increasing self-esteem and confidence in them. Keeping these objectives in mind, the Fit India School Week program was launched in 2019.
This year "Fit India School Week" will be virtually celebrated by schools in December.
