Seeing so many people participating in today's Sunday on Cycle. So many young children are participating. It was really good to see all of them. This will definitely make India fitter in near future and I can guarantee, if this is continued, there will be fitter people in India," she stated. Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, who also participated in the event alongside Uttar Pradesh Minister Girish Chandra Yadav, highlighted how 'Sunday on Cycle' is gradually becoming a nationwide movement. "Today is a Sunday. 'Sunday on Cycle' is now becoming a movement in the entire nation. Everyone cycles for an hour on Sundays to keep fit.
