“We don’t give enough importance to fitness. What we need to devote is just half an hour of our time in a day to fitness. This app is fun and free and anyone can test and monitor their fitness anywhere.”

— Sports Minister Anurag Thakur

During the app’s launch on the occasion of Sports Day marking birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand last year, Sports Minister Anurag Thakur had said, “The Fit India app is a tribute to Major Dhyan Chand who is an icon to country’s sportspersons.”

“The app is a must for sportspersons to remain fit and they are expected to follow the app rigorously. This is an effort to keep new, young India fit because a fit youth can make a great India,” he added.

“We don’t give enough importance to fitness. What we need to devote is just half an hour of our time in a day to fitness. This app is fun and free and anyone can test and monitor their fitness anywhere.”
