Raahgiri Gurgaon: A phenomenon good to be a part of!

                                          Be active live healthy!

Active parents have active children, suggest the results of a large study. By exercising regularly themselves, parents can help protect their children against obesity, say researchers.

Parents can carve time out of their hectic weekdays schedule and have a playdate with their kids playing street games, or riding bikes without any worries about a car coming from behind.

Keeping this in mind Traffic administration in Gurgaon and citizens took the initiative by the name Raahgiri to reclaim the streets of Gurgaon. The name Raahgiri communicates that this is about taking charge of our own journey, of our own streets, of our lives.

Children and adults are invited to bike, skate, run and walk; to partake in community leisure activities such as street games, street dancing; to learn yoga, aerobics and Zumba.

Raahgiri Day is a weekly street event happening on all Sundays from 07:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon.

Currently there are 2 locations in Gurgaon- Sushant Lok and DLF phase 5 and Palam Vihar where citizens can take advantage of open wide roads.

More than anything else I find Raahgiri day to be a day to socialize and make friends and get to know my community better.

I have personally witnessed many young kids volunteering their time to make the process smooth which gives them sense of responsibility and make them aware of traffic rules and regulations. This is another big reason to bring the kids out on road on Raahgiri day.

Amidst the dins and the bustle of the Gurgaon traffic the experience of the road without any traffic is so heavenly.

It is definitely a good initiative for helping your kids fall in love with outdoor activities. Active parents have active children, suggest the results of a large study. It is a good platform for parents to be a role models for their kids.
