GUIDELINES FOR FIT INDIA QUIZ

Preface

The Fit India Movement was launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister in August 2019 with a

vision of encouraging every Indian citizen to adopt a physically active lifestyle. Ministry of

Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) is the nodal ministry for implementing the Fit India

Movement in coordination with other stakeholders. The aim of Fit India Movement is to

encourage the citizens to include physical activity in their daily lives and to showcase the ease

of simplicity of doing activities which can make them fit. In a bid to increase awareness about

the importance of physical fitness in our daily lives, the Fit India Mission has conceptualised

and conducted multiple events and campaigns. Fit India Movement has been able to mark its

presence in more than 4 lakhs schools across the country through Annual Fit India School

Week Celebrations and Fit India School certifications.

Objective

To further propagate the message of Fit India Movement among the school children and

strengthen its presence in schools, a Fit India Quiz has been envisioned to involve school

children across the country. Fit India Quiz, while providing a national platform to students to

showcase their knowledge about fitness and sports, also endeavours to create awareness among

students about India's rich sporting history, including centuries-old indigenous sports, our

sporting heroes of the past and how traditional Indian lifestyle activities hold the key to a Fit

Life for all.
