New Delhi, India – March 27, 2025 — In a major boost to India’s national fitness movement, the FIT INDIA initiative under the Sports Authority of India (SAI) has officially partnered with the Indian Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF) to introduce Rope Skipping Sundays into the widely popular “Sundays on Cycle” campaign.
This new initiative aims to promote active lifestyles, improve public fitness awareness, and encourage greater participation in accessible physical activities across India. By integrating rope skipping into a government-supported wellness movement, the collaboration marks a significant step toward strengthening community fitness engagement nationwide.
The newly announced FIT INDIA–IRSF partnership also reflects the growing recognition of rope skipping as an effective, affordable, and youth-friendly fitness activity suitable for people of all age groups.
FIT INDIA Rope Skipping Collaboration Officially Begins
The collaboration was formally initiated through an official communication issued by the FIT INDIA department on March 21, 2025, addressed to Dr. Shikha Gupta, Director of the Indian Rope Skipping Federation.
The letter confirmed IRSF’s participation in upcoming fitness events and outlined the framework for integrating rope skipping demonstrations into weekly wellness activities conducted under the FIT INDIA campaign.
Officials from both organizations believe the partnership will help encourage healthier lifestyles while making fitness activities more engaging and community-oriented.
Rope Skipping Added to Sundays on Cycle Campaign
As part of the initiative, Rope Skipping Sundays will now become a regular feature of the “Sundays on Cycle” movement held every Sunday at Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi.
IRSF has been allocated a dedicated 7:00 AM session before cycling activities begin at 8:00 AM. During these sessions, trained coaches and athletes will conduct live demonstrations, beginner-friendly workshops, and interactive skipping activities for participants.
The program is designed to help individuals experience the fitness benefits of rope skipping while creating a more energetic and inclusive atmosphere during weekly events.
IRSF Expands National Fitness Awareness
The Indian Rope Skipping Federation continues to play an important role in promoting rope skipping as both a competitive sport and a modern fitness activity across India.
Through school programs, national championships, grassroots initiatives, and coaching workshops, IRSF has consistently worked toward increasing awareness about jump rope fitness and athletic development.
Fitness experts widely recognize rope skipping as a powerful cardiovascular exercise that improves endurance, coordination, agility, rhythm, balance, and concentration. Since it requires minimal equipment and can be practiced almost anywhere, it remains one of the most accessible forms of exercise.

Every weekend, citizens gather at the venue to participate in cycling sessions, wellness activities, and now rope skipping programs organized in collaboration with IRSF.
The addition of Rope Skipping Sundays has significantly enhanced public participation by introducing a fun and engaging activity that appeals to children, students, fitness enthusiasts, and families alike.
