Guwahati is set to host the Fit India Carnival 2026 from February 26 to February 28 at Arya Vidyapith College Ground, Birubari, as part of the nationwide Fit India Movement.
Launched on August 29, 2019, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the movement aims to make fitness a part of everyday life and encourage a more physically active society.
The carnival is regarded as one of the country’s largest fitness events and saw significant participation in New Delhi last year. Following that edition, the festival is being expanded to different parts of the country. In Guwahati, the event is being organised by the Sports Authority of India, Guwahati, with a focus on incorporating regional elements and cultural representation from the Northeast.
The three-day programme has been planned as a fitness and wellness festival promoting physical fitness, mental well-being, awareness about nutrition and traditional sports through a range of activities.
Dear Reader,
Every day, our team at EastMojo travels through rain, rough roads, and remote hills to bring you stories that matter – stories from your town, your people, your Northeast.
We do this because we believe in truthful, independent journalism. No big corporate backing, no government pressure – just honest reporting by local journalists who live and breathe the same air you do.
But to keep doing this work, we need you. Your small contribution helps us pay our reporters fairly, reach places others ignore, and keep asking the tough questions.
If you believe the Northeast deserves its own fearless voice, stand with us.
Support independent journalism. Be a Member.
Thank you,

Sessions have been designed for participants across age groups and will include Zumba, yoga workshops, structured exercise routines, interactive fitness challenges and traditional games led by certified trainers.
Alongside fitness activities, the carnival will feature a cultural presentation from all eight Northeastern states, a live Bihu performance, band performances with Assamese, Hindi and English songs, and DJ sessions on all three days.
Speaking about the event, the official authority of SAI Guwahati said, “Fit India Carnival 2026 is more than a fitness event. It inspires individuals and families to prioritise health and celebrate wellness together. We invite everyone to join this collective celebration of fitness.”
The organisers expect participation from students, families and fitness enthusiasts from across Assam and other parts of the Northeast.
