India’s Movement Against Obesity and for a Fitter Tomorrow

Cycling is one of the most accessible and effective forms of exercise—enhancing stamina, reducing stress, improving cardiovascular health, and promoting mental well-being. It is also a clean, eco-friendly mode of transport that contributes to reducing pollution and building a greener nation.

In line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s call, “Fitness ki dose, aadha ghanta roz,” cycling has become a popular fitness activity that blends health with sustainability.

Building on the success of the Fit India Cycling Drive, which saw the participation of over 1.5 crore citizens across India, FIT India, under the leadership of Honourable MYAS Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, launched “Sundays on Cycle” on 17th December 2024 as a weekly national movement.

The inaugural event was flagged off from Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium to Kartavya Path in New Delhi, setting the tone for what has now become a community-led fitness revolution.

Since its launch, Sundays on Cycle has been celebrated every Sunday at thousands of locations across the country—bringing together citizens of all age groups to take a stand against obesity and commit to a healthier, more active lifestyle.

Local authorities, schools, colleges, RWAs, and fitness groups organise weekly cycling rallies that promote:

• Regular physical activity for all
• Awareness about lifestyle diseases and preventive health
• Eco-friendly mobility and reduced carbon footprint
• People’s participation (Jan Bhagidari) in national fitness efforts

Sundays on Cycle is more than just a campaign—it is a weekly reminder that fitness can be fun, inclusive, and community-driven.
