The closing programme of the nationwide celebration of National Sports Day 2026, observed from 28 to 30 August 2026 under the inspiring theme “Khelega Bharat, Jeetega Bharat”, was organised by Ramakrishna Mission, Balurghat, on 30 August 2026 through a Cycle Rally.
The rally, comprising students of the Students’ Home and devotees, commenced from the main gate of Ramakrishna Mission, Balurghat, at 10:10 a.m. Following the chanting of the Pranam Mantra of Sri Sri Thakur, Sri Sri Ma and Swamiji, along with Vedic mantras, the rally was flagged off by Swami Divyatattwanandaji Maharaj.
Each cycle carried the message of National Sports Day 2026, helping to spread awareness about the importance of sports, physical fitness and an active lifestyle. The enthusiastic participants raised slogans in support of the National Sports Day campaign as they cycled through prominent and busy areas of Balurghat, including NH 512, Hilli More and Balurghat Main Bus Stand.
The rally continued for approximately 45 minutes and attracted considerable attention from the public along the route. The enthusiastic participation of the students and devotees helped make the event an effective public-awareness programme, particularly encouraging the youth to take an active interest in sports and physical fitness.
The Cycle Rally thus provided a fitting conclusion to the three-day nationwide observance at Ramakrishna Mission, Balurghat, conveying the message that sports, physical fitness and discipline are essential for building a healthy, energetic and strong nation.
