Mr. Anil Kumar, Senior Manager at the Noida Authority, will be the Chief Guest at the event. The village heads, local School Principals of Chhaprauli, and the event sponsors will be the Guests of Honour. The purpose of organising the cycling rally is spreading environmental awareness and promoting community participation. The event is also associated with the Swachcha Chaprauli Mangrauli Village Abhiyan to help one grow more sensitive to the environment, health, sustainability, and collective community work. The cycling rally, which will begin at 6.30am from the Heartfulness Meditation Centre in Sector 167, Chhaprauli village, will be followed by a relaxing and rejuvenating group meditation session at 9am. This is the first edition of the ‘Pedal with Purpose’ by Heartfulness.
Sharing his thoughts on the ‘Pedal with Purpose’ initiative, Mr. Anil Kumar, Senior Manager, Noida Authority said,
“We are looking forward to having some fun cycling on World Bicycle Day with the key takeaways of fitness and environmental consciousness. The event is also perfectly attuned to the Swachcha Chhaprauli Mangrauli Village Abhiyan, which underscores sustainability, empowerment and cleanliness both within and without.”
Medals and certificates of participation and completion of the rally will be given to all riders in recognition of their enthusiastic support for the cause. The event will also motivate the students to do their little bit towards the environment and build community spirit. It will help them gain experience in the clean, green Swachcha Chhaprauli Mangrauli Village Abhiyan as well.
The Swachcha Chhaprauli Mangrauli Village Abhiyan is a grassroots initiative originating from Heartfulness Noida Centre. The initiative is a community-driven movement focused on cleanliness, environmental awareness, women’s empowerment, youth participation, and holistic rural development. Villagers, youth, volunteers, and local communities collectively work towards building cleaner surroundings, promoting hygiene awareness, conducting plantation drives, practising responsible waste management, and fostering value-based community living.
The sponsors for the event are Crowne Plaza (refreshments for all riders), MyBharat (certificates and caps for all riders), Salam Namaste (podcast coverage), and Sahaj International Academy (cycle rentals). In addition to the residents of Noida, Heartfulness Abhyasis will also be part of the event.
The campaign also aims at nurturing inner cleanliness through meditation, human values, and compassionate living, aligning with the broader Heartfulness vision of individual and societal transformation.
