To prevent pandemics of non communicable diseases (NCDs) there is a need to scale up population level physical activity. And to increase the population level physical activity, a national physical activity plan (NPAP) is imperative. India has a physical activity guideline (PAG) but it lacks a NPAP. Our aim in this review is to analyze the contents of “Agita Sao Polo” model and “Exercise is medicine” solution model to help policy planning. To engage the population in physical activity, multiple sectors need to come together from social justice to sports. Their first goal should be to increase awareness of beneficial effects of physical activities done on regular basis, so as to effectively engage the whole population in physical activities. All community based & individualized physical activity intervention styles should be grounded on evidence base. NPAP should be a living document which should be always amenable to up gradations. Scope of surveillance and “how success would look like” are two most essential parts which must not be missed in NPAP document.
