August 13, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
To celebrate the 75 years of India’s independence, “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, the Fit India Mission has conceptualised Fit India Freedom Run 2.0. To commemorate the occasion, SRM University-AP will symbolically join the nationwide virtual marathon on August 13, 2021, at 4.00 pm.
FIT INDIA Movement was launched on 29th August 2019 by the Honorable Prime Minister with a view to make fitness an integral part of our daily lives. The mission of the Movement is to bring about behavioural changes and move towards a more physically active lifestyle. Towards achieving this mission, Fit India proposes to undertake various initiatives and conduct events to achieve the following objectives:
- To promote fitness as easy, fun and free,
- To spread awareness on fitness and various physical activities that promote fitness through focused campaigns,
- To encourage indigenous sports,
- To make fitness reach every school, college/university, panchayat/village, etc.
- To create a platform for citizens of India to share information, drive awareness and encourage sharing of personal fitness stories.
Fit India Run was conceived last year when the entire nation started following physical distancing in a ‘new normal’ lifestyle. To keep the imperative need for fitness active even while following the social distancing norms, Fit India Freedom Run was launched on the concept of the virtual run. The first edition of the campaign was held from 15th August to 2nd October 2020.
