New Delhi: Fitness and glamour are seldom separate! Hence when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact online with renowned fitness influencers at the Fit India Dialogue on tomorrow at 12 noon, besides this cabinet colleague, the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju, the likes of fitness freaks such as Virat Kohli and Milind Soman would be showcased as fitness ambassadors. Another person likely to grab attention would be Swami Shivadhyanam Saraswati, an alumni of IIT and MIT who will be representing the Bihar School of Yoga!
The influencers will share their thoughts on fitness and health. They include, besides India cricket team skipper Kohli, Swami and Soman – the winner of the Ironman Triathlon, Paralympic gold medalist javelin thrower Devendra Jhajharia, nutrition expert Rujuta Diwekar, who has been vocal about using local ingredients in diets and following simple fitness regimes and is the author of several best-selling books on diet and nutrition, Afshan Ashiq a woman footballer from Jammu and Kashmir who now trains other girls in football, and Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal’s Mukul Kanitkar, who is renowned for his research for National Resurgence and is an educationist.
Kohli, considered one of the biggest youth icons of India, took to Twitter to share his enthusiasm about the event. “I am honoured to be a part of our Honourable Prime Minister’s Fit India Dialogue where you can watch me talk about fitness and more.”
Milind Soman said he was keen to share his fitness mantra with the whole country through the Fit India Dialogue. “I have been a proponent of doing simple things and therefore, in the presence of our Prime Minister, I will speak on simple ways to be healthy and fit at any age,” said the ever-smiling ‘Ironman’ of India.
Plenty of anecdotes and tips are expected to be shared by the participants on their own fitness journey during the Fit India Dialogue online event. This dialogue will see a timely and fruitful conversation on nutrition, wellness and various other aspects on fitness.
With the motto of fitness for all, the fitness funda of Para-Olympian Devendra Jhajharia, garners even greater importance. Speaking about his participation, Jhajharia said, “I’ll be representing the Paralympic Committee of India at the Fit India Dialogue along with our Honourable PM Narendra Modiji.”
The Fit India Movement envisioned by Modi and launched by him on August 29, 2019 has seen a collective participation of more than 3.5 crore Indians in various events, with more than 2 crore participants in the Fit India Freedom Run that was launched on August 15, 2019, with a digital footprint of 30 crore people.
