FIT INDIA MOVEMENT
In the wake of the nationwide ‘Fit India Movement’ which is aimed at promoting to inculcate physical activities and sports in their everyday lives, Billabong High International School organized the ‘Fit India Week’. It is rightly said, sport helps one in the overall development. At Billabong High International School, we give great importance to sports and games because we strive toward the holistic development of our young learners and the future leaders of the world. Sports help young learners to inculcate values like discipline, integrity, dedication, and optimism. We believe that sports also help in building a sense of cooperation and team-spirit in the learners. Sport is a preserver of health. It showcases not only our physical strength but makes us understand the values of teamwork, patience, respect, acceptance, belief, and consistency.
The learners attended the inauguration ceremony of the new initiative by the government of India, “FIT India” at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, on 29th August 2019, which was addressed by the honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi.
