Delhi, 4 July (H.S.): The 30th edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle will take place on July 6 at 6000 locations nationwide, in collaboration with Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), aiming for over 50,000 participants advocating a pollution and obesity-free India. Initiated by Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya in December 2024, this movement has attracted vast participation across thousands of venues each week.

The main event will commence at 7 AM from Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, with cyclists traversing near India Gate C Hexagon and Vijay Chowk before returning. Dr. Mandaviya emphasized the growing mass movement and encouraged citizens to engage in fitness activities to combat lifestyle diseases and pollution. The collaboration with RWAs aims to foster sustainability and strengthen local community connections, with about 5-6 lakh RWAs in India promoting active lifestyles. These associations motivate residents to incorporate daily cycling, yoga, and fitness routines. The cycling events will also be held in state capitals, Union Territories, SAI Regional Centres, National Centres of Excellence, and Khelo India centres, promoting participation across varying age groups.
