Fit India Sundays On Cycle Draws Thousands Nationwide, Marks 61st Edition With Grand Celebration In Dehradun
Fit India Champion Pawan Mann: From the capital city to the peaceful landscapes of Dehradun and nearly all districts across the country, fitness enthusiasts participated in the 61st edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle (SOC) at close to 1000 locations. The FIT India Movement was launched on August 29, 2019, by the Honourable Prime Minister to make fitness a vital part of daily life. Its goal is to promote behavioural changes and encourage a more active lifestyle.
Last year, Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya introduced Fit India Sundays on Cycle to promote cycling as a fitness activity and to address key issues, including combating obesity and reducing pollution.
Over the past year, the programme has reached the remotest areas of the country, transforming into a People's Movement led by the people, with the Fit India Mission of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports serving as a catalyst. This week was no exception, as thousands took to the streets to cycle across the nation.
