Sports Min. Mandaviya Urges Nation To Embrace Cycling As Fit India Sundays On Cycle Reaches 15,000 Locations
Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium: The 82nd Fit India Sundays on Cycle event was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports, Mansukh Mandaviya, at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and address pollution, serving as a sustainable solution. The event was held across over 15,000 locations nationwide in partnership with Ayushman Aarogya Mandir, involving National Health Mission personnel across the country.
Launched in December 2024 by Mandaviya, the event has grown into a nationwide movement encouraging people of all ages to dedicate “fitness ki dose, aadha ghantMra roz'—30 minutes daily for fitness. To date, over 30 lakh participants have joined, and more than 8 crore individuals have been impacted by the Fit India campaigns since 2025.
In New Delhi, Olympic hockey player and Asian Champions Trophy gold medalist Preety Dubey, Fit India ambassador Charul Malik, and renowned yoga and wellness coach Anita Solanki from the Ministry of Ayush cycled around the famous India Gate circle and Kartavya Path. The scenic route near India Gate encouraged many to bring their own bicycles, in addition to those supplied by Fit India.
