- Important step in towards making India fit and healthy
- The event has been presented so well that I feel my speech is not needed
- The conceptualization of the event has been brilliant
- This must become a mass movement. Videos from the event must be shown to students across India
- Out athletes and sportspersons make us proud the world over and ensure that the Indian flag flies high wherever they go. They bring prestige to the nation and to all us citizens
- Fit India aims to go beyond spots. It has to do with overall fitness and for people of all ages. Fitness is not just about being fit, but being about healthy and happy
All set to attend the launch and 1st committee meeting of the #FitIndiamovement in Delhi.
