44th Edition of Sundays on Cycle held in more than 10,000 locations across India
World Para Athletics Championship medalists Sailesh Kumar, Praveen Kumar and Sonam Rana joined Sundays on Cycle to motivate citizens to take up fitness activities
Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, led the latest edition of ‘Sundays on Cycle (SOC)’, a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting fitness and healthy living among citizens, in New Delhi today. This week's special partners were doctors and health professionals, underscoring the critical role of preventive health and the importance of physical activity in combating lifestyle diseases such as obesity.
Lauding their contribution to the nation, Dr. Mandaviya said, "As Health Minister during Covid, I have closely seen the dedication of doctors and health staff; their contribution to the nation is unparalleled and I take this opportunity to thank you all for joining Sundays on Cycle to spread the message of fitness. I also urge you to guide citizens towards a healthier life because when a doctor says something related to health, people follow it. Whether it is the fight against obesity which is the vision of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi or the merits of cycling which we propagate through Sundays on Cycle, your message will reach every Indian."
The event saw enthusiastic participation from people of all ages, along with World Para Athletics Championship (WPAC) medalists Praveen Kumar, Soman Rana and Sailesh Kumar, who joined to inspire the public towards an active lifestyle. Organised in collaboration with the Cycling Federation of India (CFI), Yogasana Bharat, and MY Bharat. The Delhi event was conducted in partnership with Raahgiri Foundation, Fitspire and Red FM. Alongside cycling, the event also had Zumba, Rope Skipping led by Dr. Shikha Gupta, and Yogasana along with a Game Zone.
Pointing to how Sundays on Cycle has firmly become one of India's leading fitness movements, Dr. Mandaviya further added, “Today, ‘Sundays on Cycle’ has been organised in more than 10,000 places across India where doctors have joined this initiative to fight obesity. SOC is held even in the most remote corners of India every Sunday to propagate the vision of the Prime Minister that to build a Viksit Bharat by 2047, citizens have to be fit first. A healthy body and a healthy mind are the foundation of a strong nation. Cycling is the easiest form of exercise and anyone can take it up. I also urge everyone to buy Swadeshi products for their sports and fitness activities.”
