Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged students,
parents and teachers to participate in the 'Fit India Week' programme, an
initiative taken up by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
"CBSE has taken a commendable initiative of
introducing the concept of 'Fit India week'. Schools can celebrate the fitness
week in December. It can involve several fitness-related activities, including
sports, games, yoga and dance," PM Modi said during his 59th edition of
Mann Ki Baat.
"I appeal to all the schools to celebrate it.
Students, parents and teachers must take part in it," Prime Minister Modi
added.
"Fit India doesn't mean just exercising the mind or
making fitness plans on paper or merely looking at fitness apps on the laptop
or computer or on a mobile phone. Not at all you have to sweat it out. The food
habits have to change", he said.
Appealing all schools to join Fit India Ranking, he said:
"Fit India should become a part of an individual's life naturally and
comfortably. It should become a mass movement and efforts shall be taken up to
create mass awareness on the fitness issue."
The prime objective of the programme is to indulge school
children in active field time than passive screen time.
As many as 22,000 CBSE schools will participate in the
fitness programme and indigenous games from every state will be included in the
active field time.
