While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope the government ensures these facilities are properly maintained. So many public projects in India start with great fanfare but are neglected after a few months. Regular upkeep is key.

CM Dhami is absolutely right about the link between fitness and a drug-free society. When youth are engaged in sports and exercise, they are less likely to fall into bad habits. More states should adopt this model. Jai Hind!

As someone from a small town, I love this! It's not just about gyms, it's about creating community spaces. Hope they install good lighting so women and girls can also use it safely in the evenings. That would be truly inclusive.

Fit India Movement in action! This is much better than just giving speeches. Providing the infrastructure is the first step. Now it's up to us, the youth, to make the most of it. Time to get off our phones and get moving, guys!

Interesting to see this focus on public health infrastructure. The point about sports fostering discipline and leadership is so true. These qualities are essential not just for individuals, but for the progress of the entire nation.
