FIT INDIA SCHOOL
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India has launched the Fit India Movement on 29 Aug 2019 with a view to make Physical Fitness a way of life. Fit India Movement aims at behavioral changes – from sedentary lifestyle to physically active way of day-to-day living. Fit India would be a success only when it becomes a people’s movement. We have to play the role of a catalyst.
Milenium World School has proved itself as a FIT INDIA SCHOOL. We believe that school is the first place where habits are formed. School children should be encouraged to indulge in active field time during school hours involving fitness and sports activities. This instills in students the understanding for regular physical activity and higher levels of fitness, thus enhancing self-esteem and confidence in them.
We ensured that all students, parents, staff and management actively participate in the FIT India School activities. We got registered ourselves on https://fitindia.gov.in/fit-india-school-week and uploaded photos and video link related to the event.
