Fit India, Hit India
Fit India Movement was launched by the honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in order to promote the idea of health is wealth among the youth and the elderly.
Over the years, India has produced a handful of sports icons who showcased sparks of brilliance, such as Major Dhyanchand, Milkha Singh, and PT Usha. However, the lack of a focused sports culture and limited support for elite athletes hindered India’s podium finishes in international sports events.
Moreover, sports infrastructure primarily developed in urban areas, leaving rural regions devoid of basic facilities. To address these challenges and tap into the true potential of Indian athletes, the Khelo India Scheme was introduced.
