The Namo Yuva Run has been organised as part of celebrations for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 75th birthday on September 17. The run is scheduled for September 21 and has been designed to encourage young people to embrace fitness while steering them away from substance abuse. Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya was also present at the launch.
Milind Soman On Fitness For All
Speaking at the event, Milind Soman stressed the significance of fitness as a shared responsibility within families. "Everyone should understand that it is essential to keep themselves fit, to enjoy life, and keep moving forward... More than the youth, the parents should understand this, because if they focus on health, so will their children... PM Modi himself places a lot of importance on health... He doesn't need a gift. If he sees the people of India participating in an activity that benefits the country, that in itself is a gift for him," he told ANI.
The Namo Yuva Run campaign will take place across 75 cities, with the participation of more than 10,000 people on September 21.
