Like many endeavors in current times for the youth education and awareness  about fitness and physical activity are not inculcated as many initiatives to encourage physical fitness are important and  usually falls  short. Understanding both fitness and physical literacy are important to the healthy development of all. People with physical literacy have the knowledge, skills, and fitness necessary to be active -throughout life. Being physically literate is not the same as being physically active. One can be fit without possessing physical literacy, and conversely, one can be physically literate and choose not to be active. The year is celebrated as Fitness Literacy year under the COVID 19 Pandemic  situation. Yearlong online/ offline programs and competitions were organized.

The literacy year 2021 -2022 has as its core concern, the wellbeing of the self as well as our fellow beings, in the present as well as in the future. We announce the theme of FITNESS for the year2021-2022to encapsulate action and vigour with strength and resilience, leading to the seeking of our true selves and shinning in that light. We move cyclically from ‘Me’ to ‘We’ in ever altruistic ways  to move forward in the spirit of mutual cooperation , understanding and inclusivity. We hope it will be in the fitness of things , to feel, introspect , think and navigate and then equip to seek and shine, mnemonically capturing the essence in the word ‘FITNESS’ . We live in a highly digitized world , constantly connected electronically to gadgets and tools and are in danger of turning into couch addicts, Rapid digitalization in every sphere of life is a necessary evil, but needs to be balanced with increasing and effective routes to patience, tolerance , serenity and endurance. The backlash of the horrific pandemic COVID-19 must be negotiated with Fitness of all hues and shapes. The Fitness Literature year will survive to motivate our students and staff towards physical vigour, Mental Vitality, Emotional health , social vivacity and spiritual fulfilment. The Fitness Literacy year promises to lessen our trauma and heal our psyche.
