Fit India Sundays on Cycle invites a special set of people every week
New Delhi: Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya led the ‘Fit India Sundays on Cycle’ campaign here, with Olympic rower Arjun Lal Jat among a host of other participants.
Drawing from Prime Minister Modi’s call to fight obesity by reducing oil consumption by 10 per cent, exercising and eating right, Mandaviya dedicated the initiative to nation’s fight against obesity.
Speaking at the event, the Sports Minister said, “In our fight against obesity, which the Honourable PM has initiated, we must come together to include daily fitness in our life. “Cycling is the easiest exercise and it has a very positive impact on the environment as well. It reduces carbon footprints and is a solution for pollution.”
The Fit India Sundays on Cycle invites a special set of people every week. The army personnel, postmen, and wellness experts have been invited as guests in the past.
In this week’s event, corporate India stepped forward to support the campaign and participate. Representatives of industry bodies FICCI and CII as well as members from fitness brand Decathlon, Yoga Bharat and My Bharat participated.
The Fit India Sundays on Cycle has been organised across 4,200 locations in India in the past few weeks and in 1,200 locations today,” a Ministry release said.
