Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the launch of Fit India School grading system in schools across the country, in his radio programme “Mann Ki Baat”.
This grading system in schools will keep track of the fitness activities held in schools. Besides fitness activity facilities, the level of ranking will depend on how much does a school gives importance to inculcate fitness among students and teachers.
“In the Fit India Movement, schedules have been drawn for ranking schools in accordance with fitness. The schools that achieve this ranking will also be able to use the `Fit India` logo and flag,” the PM said in his address on Monday.
The Fit India School ranking system has been drawn up by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in consultation with the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
The level of ranking will depend on how much importance the school gives to inculcating overall fitness among its students and teachers and infrastructural facilities available for fitness activities.
Explaining the ranking system, the PM said: “Schools can declare themselves as fit by visiting the Fit India portal. Fit India three-star and Fit India five-star ratings will also be given. I appeal that all schools should enrol in the Fit India ranking system and Fit India should become innate to our temperament. That it becomes a mass movement and bring awareness is what we must strive for.”
