THREE YEARS OF FIT INDIA
SPORTS ECOSYSTEM

GETS A BOOST

Our ancestors believed in the principle that –

which means exercise alone brings the benefit of good health,
long life, strength, and happiness. To be healthy is the ultimate goal through which all other
works are accomplished. With an aim to achieve this 'Siddhi' India which has the world's
highest youth demography has not only established a culture of yoga and fitness in the last 8
years but has also taken many such initiatives including Fit India, Khelo India, Target Olympic
Podium Scheme (TOPS) as a result of which people are becoming fitness-friendly and the
players are creating new records. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself is interacting with
sportspersons before every major sporting event. He tries to infuse confidence in the players
by assuring them that 'you just focus on your best performance, rest the country will
take care of other things'.
