“On National Sports Day about two years back, PM Modi launched the Fit India Movement. Today we have launched the Fit India Mobile App, it can help you monitor daily sleep pattern, water intake, it can help you guide you to stay fit and healthy,” Anurag Thakur said at the launch of the app.

The Fit India Movement was launched on August 29, 2019 by PM Modi.
