AKAM was flagged off on March 12 last year and is scheduled to continue to August 15 next year.
New Delhi: To commemorate 75th years of our Independence while glorifying our deep cultural roots as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM), a cycle rally was flagged off by Union Minister for External Affairs Meenakshi Lekhi from the National Stadium at India Gate and concluded at the National Gallery of Modern Arts. In order to enable the attending luminous dignitaries such as ambassadors to India and eminent government officials of the Ministry of External Affairs to participate in the rally, Hero Cycles brought some of their most popular brands.
AKAM was flagged off on March 12 last year and is scheduled to continue to August 15 next year. It is an embodiment of all that is progressive about India’s socio-cultural, political and economic identity, including India’s long-standing tradition of green mobility via sustainable, non-motorized mode of transport, namely cycles.
Abhishek Munjal, Director, HMC said, “cycles are extremely green, sustainable personal mobility solutions which offer comfort and convenience and now we have a huge array of e-cycles as well. They’re more than a new two-wheeler mobility product. e-cycles are carrying forward the legacy of sustainable non-motorised mobility options into the smart cities of the future. The economic flexibility would be accorded if e-cycles and cycles are included in the policy of the union government.
