It is expected that during the interaction, Rijuju and other panellists would share details about their fitness mantra and also talk about how India's perception of fitness has changed in the past few decades.
It may be recalled that the first edition of the Fit India Dialogue was hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September. During the dialogue, PM Modi interacted with cricketer Virat Kohli, fitness icon Milind Sonam, among others.
Earlier in 2020, PM Modi had launched 'Fitness Ka Dose Aadha Ghanta Roz' campaign and the campaign has now become a nation-wide movement.
The campaign was lauded by the World Health Organisation (WHO) recently when they in a tweet had said "WHO applauds India's initiative on promoting physical activity through its campaign Fitness Ka Dose Aadha Ghanta Roz."
