The Indian Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF), in collaboration with the Sports Authority of India (SAI), is continuing to strengthen the nationwide FIT INDIA movement through the rapidly growing Sundays on Cycle campaign in New Delhi. The initiative has witnessed increasing participation from citizens, athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and community groups, further promoting the vision of a healthier and more active India.
The “Sundays on Cycle” campaign, an important initiative under the FIT INDIA movement envisioned by the Honourable Prime Minister of India, encourages people to adopt active lifestyles through cycling, fitness activities, and community participation. The integration of Rope Skipping activities by the Indian Rope Skipping Federation has added a dynamic and energetic dimension to the campaign, attracting participants from diverse age groups and backgrounds.

Since the collaboration began on March 21, 2025, the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi has become a vibrant center for fitness every Sunday morning. Participants arriving for the cycling campaign are welcomed with energetic Rope Skipping demonstrations, training sessions, and interactive fitness activities conducted by certified IRSF coaches and national-level Rope Skipping athletes.
The Indian Rope Skipping Federation organizes engaging sessions introducing participants to the fundamentals of Rope Skipping while also showcasing advanced Jump Rope techniques, freestyle routines, endurance drills, and synchronized performances.

The growing popularity of these activities highlights the increasing recognition of Rope Skipping in India as both a fitness activity and a competitive sport.
