Since which date has the Fit India Sundays on Cycle ride been held every Sunday without a break?
- A.2 October 2024
- B.22 December 2024
- C.1 January 2025
- D.15 August 2025
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 22 December 2024. The free community ride started on that date and, as officials told the climate summit, it has not lost a single Sunday since. Participation has since reached close to 3.7 million riders at more than 30,000 locations across the country, and the ride was launched by Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, in December 2024. Option A, 2 October 2024, is wrong because the ride had not begun then; options C and D, 1 January 2025 and 15 August 2025, fall after the real start date, so by then the ride was already running week after week. The clean way to remember it is that the first ride came in December 2024 and that the hundredth edition arrives on 29 November, with an impact report on the first 97 editions released at Antalya.
