The Prime minister ,who is known to do yoga everyday, also urged people to make lifestyle changes and said that technology has contributed to a sedentary lifestyle.

Here are the top quotes from his speech at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium:

 

" Fitness is just not a word but a necessary condition for a healthy and prosperous life."

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Indians to take up fitness as part of their daily lifestyle as he launched the Fit India movement on Thursday, saying that the key to keeping India ahead is 'healthy people' , healthy family and healthy society'.

When you gain awareness about fitness, become conscious about your health, you will notice changes in your life- threatening objects like drugs."

Diseases like diabetes and hypertension is increasing in India day by day. Even the younger generation is infected with these diseases. This disorder is due to a disorder in your lifestyle. You have to change your lifestyle. You have to change your lifestyle to improve your health."

 

The campaign is aimed at encouraging people to include physical activity and sports in their everyday lifestyle. From past several years people of India are focussing on their health but if we see todays lifestyle, their is a lot of difference. Now people dont have time for physical activities. Their busy schedule and sitting  work in offices there is no time to go for a walk or exercise.

 

Looking into this matter deeply, our honourable Prime Minister headed to make India fit. A committee headed by sports minister Kiran Rijiju and comprising government officials, members of(IOA), national sports federations, private bodies and fitness promoters, has been formed to take the movement forward.

 

Fitness has always been an integral part of our culture. But there is difference between fitness issues now. A few decades back, a normal person could walk 8- 10 kms in a day do cycling or run. But due technology, physical activity has reduced. We walk less now, and that technology says that we do not walk. Secondly the increasing number of health issues is due to less workout.

 

Modi said the younger generation grappling with lifestyle diseases is a thing to worry. So we all should take some time from our daily lives for our health.
