All necessary arrangements were made to make sure that the live streaming was uninterrupted. The

students sat glued to the big projector screen as Shri Narendra Modi talked at length about the
importance of including a fitness regime in one’s life.

In his address, Shri Narendra Modi said that Lifestyle diseases are on the rise due to lifestyle
disorders and we can ensure we don't get them by being fitness-conscious. He further added that

mobile apps have to tell us how many steps we walked. He urged the student to understand that a

healthy Individual, a healthy family and a healthy society are the essentials to make New India a Fit
