It is noted that the Rotary International in association with RGCIRC (Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre), Niti Bagh, successfully concluded the highly impactful “Gulabi Udaan – a Cyclothon in Pink” on Sunday, November 9, 2025. The women-centric event was organized to aggressively promote breast cancer awareness and amplify the critical, life-saving value of early detection across South Delhi. The initiative saw approximately 250 spirited cyclists transform the roads into a vibrant wave of pink, effectively drawing public attention to a cause that affects thousands of women across the country. Famina Miss India-World, Nandini Gupta, the Chief Guest, supported the event and motivated the cyclists to spread awareness of regular self examination for early detection and timely cure.
Dr. Gauri Kapoor, Medical Director, RGCIRC Niti Bagh, reiterated the mission's urgency during her address at the event: "Breast cancer awareness is vital in today's world, and events like Gulabi Udaan are critical in spreading the message of early detection and prevention. We are proud to support this initiative, as cycling not only promotes fitness but also brings attention to a cause that affects so many women. Together with our partners, we hope to inspire more women to adopt a healthier lifestyle."
District Governor of Rotary International (3011), Dr Ravinder Gugnani expressed, "Physical activity is a crucial factor in reducing the risk of breast cancer. Cycling, as a form of exercise, strengthens the body, which is vital for overall health. Events like Gulabi Udaan bring attention to these facts and offer a fun yet impactful way for women to take control of their health. Awareness and action go hand-in-hand, and we hope this cyclothon will inspire women to be proactive in their health journey."
