Welcome to Health and Fitness (NSO) web space of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur! Health and Fitness (NSO) is an official Extra Academic Activity of IIT Kharagpur. The aim here is to inculcate and promote healthy lifestyle through structured program. It includes weekly training work-outs and awareness drive through workshop, rally and publications in different media.

We are happy to launch this blog on auspicious birthday of Subhash Chandra Bose who stands tall before the youth of this country and is idolized by patriot India.

To quote President of India from his 20th January, 2013 speech, "This great son of India's life was a story of sacrifice and service. The motto of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was 'seva' and 'tyag' (service and sacrifice). In many centuries, we may not have someone like him."

In this very district where IIT Kharagpur is situated, on Dec. 21, 1929, addressing a huge youth rally Subhas Chandra said, "I want a society and a state which will not only remove all the needs of the Indian people but serve as a model to the world at large. The new society will have to be built on the basis of equality. The caste system will have to be blown away. The woman will have to be freed from all shackles and endowed with rights and responsibilities equal to man. The inequalities of wealth will have to be swept away, and everyone irrespective of creed, caste or colour will have to be given equal opportunities for education and self-realisation."

We remember him today and rededicate ourselves to build a stronger nation by building a stronger youth force; youth who not only feel the issues nation faces and plans solutions but also are physically strong enough to execute the action-plan on ground and take the solution to masses.
