the fact that only a fit body can do justice to your mind, body, and soul. Because ultimately
healthy mind resides in a healthy body and which is important to be successful in any
occupation.
The active support of the Prime Minister and people’s participation helped in spreading
the message of healthy living and the crucial role yoga plays in one’s fitness.
The social media movement aimed at not just the fitness of the body but the mind as
well. For the first time common health related issues like stress, tension and depression
were discussed by a leading political figure on public forums. All throughout, the role
of exercise in curing the silent killer that depression is; was highlighted the most by the
Prime Minister.
Senior citizens also participated enthusiastically in the campaign, giving serious fitness
goals to the people.

social media program propagated the mantra of healthy living at all ages. India is moving
towards the path of Fit India.
