'Cycling has the potential to be the most important component of the Fit India campaign.

Cycling will keep you healthy and contribute to the development of a clean India," Thakur said in a statement.

On Friday, cycle rallies were held in over 100 locations around the country, including 75 historic spots, and Thakur was among the 1500-plus persons who took part in the 7.5-kilometer rally. The goal of this programme is to encourage people to incorporate cycling into their everyday routines in order to improve their physical fitness.
