What is childhood without trees to climb, trails to explore and open spaces to run?

This World Environment Day, let’s protect the environments that help children build stronger bodies, healthier minds, and lifelong confidence.

Bangkok.

40 countries.
140 educators, school leaders, and changemakers.

One conversation: the future of education.

Honoured to see the work we’re doing at FittGen recognised on this global stage, with our Co-Founder & MD, Percival Naveen Howie, receiving the Global Impact Award in Physical Education Innovation from Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik.

A meaningful milestone for a mission we’ve believed in from the beginning: building healthier, stronger childhoods through movement.

While the country was glued to the IPL, Indian athletes across other sports were busy making history. And they deserve to be celebrated.

Because cricket is only one chapter of India’s sporting story. And there are thousands more athletes working every day to make India proud.

Which achievement impressed you the most?

Gurindervir Singh became India’s fastest man.

Vishal TK became the first Indian ever to break the 45-second barrier in the 400m.

Pooja Singh became one of Asia’s best, winning Women’s High Jump Gold.

Shahnavaz Khan leapt to continental glory with Long Jump Gold.

Tejaswin Shankar proved his all-round brilliance with Heptathlon Gold

Esha Singh added another international Gold, cementing her place among India’s brightest shooting talents.

Satwik & Chirag became the first Indian men’s doubles pair to win the Singapore Open.

Which achievement impressed you the most?

More and more children are entering competitive environments before their bodies have built the foundations to support them properly.

And over time, that shows up through poor movement patterns, overuse injuries, fatigue, burnout, and loss of confidence.

That’s why structured physical development matters so much in childhood.

Modern childhood is changing in ways we can no longer ignore.

Excited to take this conversation to the global stage at the World School Summit (WSS) in Bangkok and continue pushing for a future where physical development, movement, and healthier childhoods are part of education again.

Indian athletics just entered a new era. A powerful reminder of what we are capable of.

The bar has officially been raised at the 2026 Federation Cup in Ranchi!
