said "Promoting wellness and healthy lifestyle is one the most pledges of this
government. The aim of this movement is to simplify fitness for every citizen
of this country. As part of our efforts to promote fitness we have commenced a
program to appoint a trained sports counsellor for each island. The main responsibility
of this counsellor is to conduct fitness programs for the citizens of the
island. Additionally, with the assistance of Indian government we have started
the process of installing outdoor gyms in 61 islands. Our aim is to install an
outdoor gym in every island within the next two years, strengthening our
efforts to build a healthier nation. We are grateful to Mr. Shetty for readily
agreeing to support our vision and look forward to welcoming him in the Maldives
very soon. Mr. Shettys participation will be a huge boost to make Mission Fit Maldives
