The Ministry of Youth Affair and Sports, having responded to Prime Minister’s call for a ‘Fit India Movement’ has launched Fit India School Rating for schools to integrate Fitness as an essential part of School Education. The level of Fit India School Rating will depend on how much importance the school gives for inculcating Fitness among its students and teachers in addition to the facilities available for Fitness Activities. As such a few simple parameters have been designed for this purpose.

There are two ratings—3 Star and 5 Star, which the schools can take for themselves depending on the their fulfilling the criteria.  For FIT INDIA SCHOOL Rating, the school would certify itself and will register online at ww.fitindia.gov.in.

 On registration, an online Certificate would be issued to the School recognizing it with the permission to use Fit India Logo and Fit India Flag.  For FIT INDIA 3-Star or 5-Star Rating the school would have to apply online at www.fitindia.gov.in.  The Fit India Mission would verify the claim and thereafter will issue an online Certificate and Commendation Letter. The hard copy of the Certificate and Letter would be sent by post.

As per a CBSE circular, FIT INDIA is going to be included for the Prime Minister’s Award also and it is likely that the Fit India 5-Star Schools would be felicitated during the Republic Day and Independence Day functions at respective State level.
