Good message, but I hope the focus on millets and traditional food is backed by making them affordable and accessible. Sometimes these events feel like photo-ops. Real change needs policy support for cheaper healthy food.

Fit India and Khelo India are great campaigns. As a college student in Hyderabad, I see more friends getting into running and cycling. The community feeling is amazing. We need more public parks and tracks though!

It's wonderful to see such large-scale participation across India, from Punjab to Kerala. Uniting the country through fitness is a powerful idea. The anti-drug message is especially crucial for young people everywhere.

Hyderabad representing! 🏃‍♂️ People's Plaza is a perfect spot for this. The emphasis on yoga and millets is very much in line with our culture. Hope this motivates parents to get their kids off phones and onto the ground.

While the event is good, we need to ensure it's inclusive. What about people with disabilities? Fitness initiatives should have provisions for everyone. Also, regular Sunday cycling events in neighborhoods would have more impact than one big run.
