New Delhi, Sep 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday urged people to adopt the Fit India Movement in corporate culture. Addressing the 114th Annual Session of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Rijiju said that India has a large youth population that needs to be converted into a resource, which can be achieved through fitness.

Commending the contribution of the industry to the Fit India Movement, Rijiju said: "In three weeks since the launch, there has been an amazing response from everywhere.
