Fit india icons

Fit India Champions Karan Tacker: The Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, felicitated the newly-appointed Fit India Icons, Bollywood producer Rohit Shetty, World Cup-winning cricketer Harbhajan Singh, and Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal, at the National Fitness & Wellness Conclave 2025, held at The Trident in Mumbai on Saturday. The conclave celebrated India’s growing fitness and wellness movement under the Fit India Mission, marking a significant step towards building a Fit and Viksit Bharat.

Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs & Sports, Raksha Nikhil Khadse, felicitated Saiyami Kher, Shivoham, and Vrinda Bhatt as Fit India Icons, recognising their contribution to promoting health and wellness across communities. Ankur Garg, and Fit India Champions Karan Tacker, Vishwas Patil, and Krishna Prakash were also felicitated by Union Sports Minister Dr. Mandaviya as Fit India Ambassadors for their ongoing efforts in inspiring citizens to embrace fitness as a way of life.

“If we do not understand the value of fitness, it will not be possible to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Times have changed. In earlier days, people travelled on foot and cycled to distant places. Fitness happened naturally. In a digital world, we hardly move and don’t care about fitness. We have to find ways to break that," the Union Minister said.
