Fit India Icon Milind Soman: Geeta Phogat, India's first woman wrestler to win a Commonwealth gold and to qualify for the Olympics, appeared happy as she joined 1000 women at Delhi's Major Dhyanchand National Stadium. This event was part of a special Fit India Sundays on Cycle initiative, launched by Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya.

"I wish I cycled more often, I really enjoyed myself today. I was thrilled to see so many young mothers with little children and even elderly women, cycling with me today. Our Prime Minister had started this Fit India initiative and being here today I have realised that it has actually become a People's Movement and people have started taking fitness very seriously,” she said.

Women dominated Fit India Sundays with cycles all over the country in a special edition celebrating women's contributions to a Viksit Bharat. Conducted simultaneously nationwide, the event attracted participation at over 2000 locations, making it one of the largest grassroots fitness efforts under the Fit India campaign. From big cities to small towns, women gathered in large groups to join cycling rallies and fitness activities, highlighting the significance of health and community involvement.
