Society for promotion of Physical Activity and Health

"The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, and strength in the hand." - Swami Vivekananda. In the present scenario, when lifestyle associated non communicable diseases (Cardio vascular ailments, Diabetes, stroke and mental disorders including suicidality) are leading cause of morbidity and mortality, it has become the need of hour to promote life style interventions like Physical Activity and Healthy Nutrition.
