Indian School Certificate Examination: With 65 per cent of the country’s population below the age of 35 years, substance abuse poses one of the gravest threats confronting India’s youth, trapping them at a pivotal stage of life and posing a challenge to national progress. Keeping this in mind, Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports Mansukh Mandaviya will be leading the special edition ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat’ of nationwide ‘Fit India Sundays on Cycle’ on July 20 from the Banaras Hindu University campus in Varanasi.

The 32nd edition of the Fit India Sundays on Cycle will be organised at 6000 locations across the country in partnership with several educational institutions including the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Kendriya Vidayalaya Sangathan, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE), DAV College Management Committee, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti and Bal Bharati Public School.

Mandaviya has given a clarion call to 15 lakh schools across the country to pedal for health and a drug-free Viksit Bharat. Started by the Union Sports Minister in December 2024, the ‘FIT India Sundays on Cycle’ has transformed into a mass movement and has been organised in thousands of locations across the country with participation of more than 50,000 individuals every week.
