Their ideas help us move forward. When PM Narendra Modi launched this movement last year, based on what he said, we tried to understand how we can take it forward. Today, in this third meeting of the National Advisory Committee, I see so many suggestions coming forward and am proud to see that the entire team has been doing a wonderful job so far," Rijiju said.He said the last year has been a very interesting journey with various state governments, schools and colleges actively participating in various activities.The minister said there has been amazing participation for the Fit India Freedom Run campaign."I think this is the highest traction ever for a government campaign. It has been a complete people's movement, taken forward by the masses," he said.Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra also congratulated all the members and Rijiju and added that focusing on mental health is also the need of the hour. "I have to congratulate all the members including minister sir who has taken forward this movement with so much joy and passion. I think there's a lot more planned out and I am a lot excited," she said.Talking about the importance of mental health, she said, "We are living in a very different world from what we had planned last year"."I feel there is too much fear as people are jobless. There is a lack of physical contact. It is taking a toll on mental health. We have to do something about it now. What is the use of physical health if you don't have mental health? Through fit India, we have to pay attention to mental wellness. This is the need of the hour. Even reserving some days of the week for meditation and pranayam can be beneficial to us," she said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
