Fit India Week
Fit India School Week was conceived in 2019 with the imperative need of creating awareness about
fitness not limited to children but also their parents, teachers, and school staff. In this campaign,
school fraternities across the country are encouraged to celebrate 4 to 6 days in a week to promote a
healthy and active lifestyle by indulging in various activities such as debates, quiz, essay writing,
poster-making competitions, yoga and meditation, pledge of fitness, indigenous sports etc.
The 1st edition of Fit India School Week was celebrated in the 3rd week of November 2019 as Fitness
Week in partnership with the Ministry of Education. In the 2nd edition, Fit India school week was
conducted from December 2020 to January 2021. More than 4.3 lakh schools celebrated the Fit India
school week across the nation. The 3rd edition of Fit India School week was organized from November
2021 to January 2022. The Fit India School Week witnessed more than 4.5 lakh participants across
from all over India. The 4th edition of Fit India School Week was organized from 15th November to 15th
December 2023. Additionally, all schools were encouraged to celebrate their annual sports day during
Fit India School Week.
The 5th edition of Fit India School Week was rechristened as “Fit India Week 2023” to expand the
outreach of the week to include colleges, universities and higher educational institutions (HEI) and
organized from 15th November 2023 to 31st January 2024.
The 4th edition of Fit India School week was organized from 15th November 2022 to 31st January 2023 and witnessed more than 5.56 Lakhs schools participating from all over India. In order to propagate and popularize the Fit India School Week among the school fraternity and general population at large, the public representatives namely the Hon’ble Members of Parliament and Hon’ble Members of Legislative Assembly were requested to attend the Fit India School Week celebrations in a school in their respective constituency. Their presence played a pivotal role in showcasing the popularity of Fit India School Week which was further amplified by extensive media coverages.
Building on the enthusiasm of previous editions of Fit India Week, this year, it is to be observed from
15th November 2024 to 31st December 2024. The Fit India Week 2024 will involve an elaborate media
amplification to further popularize and improve the visibility of the campaign. #FIW2024 #FitIndia
