Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Swimming: The importance of staying fit holistically was upheld in the greatest of ways during the 68th edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle here at the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Swimming Pool Complex. Besides the regular 5km cycling ride, over 800 participants took part in myriad fitness zones, specially laid out across the complex, two days prior to World Health Day.

Multiple activity zones featured badminton, table tennis, cricket, tug of war, yoga, skipping challenges, and even nostalgic indoor games like carrom, ludo and snakes & ladders. A special yoga consultation booth, supported by Ministry of AYUSH under its Yoga 365 initiative, saw participants unwind through guided sessions and consultations, while a smart wall fitness challenge for neural activity and darts stations drew enthusiastic crowds across age groups.

Fit India Sundays on Cycle is organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) in collaboration with the Cycling Federation of India (CFI), Indian Rope Skipping Federation, Yogasana Bharat, Raahgiri Foundation, MY Bikes and MY Bharat. The cycling drive is conducted simultaneously across all States and Union Territories, including SAI Regional Centres, National Centres of Excellence (NCOEs), SAI Training Centres (STCs), Khelo India State Centres of Excellence (KISCEs) and Khelo India Centres (KICs).
