The Bonne Sante Wellness Challenge, presented by Malayala Manorama, should be taken up by everyone, Union Minister of State for Sports Kiren Rijiju has said.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched the ‘Fit India’ health programme in 2019 and it envisaged mass participation. The programme evoked a good response, he said adding Malayala Manorama was also part of the movement to ‘keep India fit.’
