National Sports Day 2020
Celebrate National Sports Day
On 29 Aug 2019, the Honorable Prime Minister launched nation-wide “Fit India Movement” aimed to encourage people to inculcate physical activity and sports in their everyday lives and daily routine.
To take this mission forward, FICCI and Fitness365 has proposed that 29 August to 05 September 2020 be celebrated as #LetsMoveMore Program. This movement therefore endeavors to alter this behavior from ‘Passive Screen time’ to ‘Active Field time’ and the aim of the objective is to promote Fitness through Movement among all Teachers, Students and Parents to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Such movement will also instill in students the understanding for regular physical activity and higher levels of fitness enhancing in them self-esteem and confidence.
The challenges of modern day life have brought along with it the need to be more physically proactive and fit in order to face its challenges with optimum energy and positivity. Fitter Children, Staff and Parents are able to handle day-to-day physical and emotional challenges better. However, for a holistic and intrinsically healthy lifestyle, awareness and support for #LetsMoveMore Movement is more essential than ever.
