He further added that Indian citizens have now become synonymous to various lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, early onset of heart diseases etc. Thus, it is important for people to focus on their health as it leads to the overall well-being of an individual.
“Even though #FitIndiaMovement has been started by the government, the citizens have to spearhead the campaign. They are the ones who will ensure its success. I can say this from my personal experience, the investment is zero but returns are unlimited,” said the prime minister in closing.
