Margao | August 4, 2025: In a refreshing and impactful initiative, Chirag Datta Naik, Congress leader from Margao, organised a community trek to Chandreshwar Parvat aimed at encouraging youth to adopt a more active and health-conscious lifestyle. The event, held on Sunday, brought together 25 enthusiastic participants eager to escape screens and experience the lush Goan landscape during the monsoon.
The group assembled at the Chandreshwar Temple Arch at 7:00 AM, beginning their trek through vibrant green trails surrounded by nature’s tranquility. The event was designed not just as a physical activity, but also as a platform for youth engagement, personal growth, and environmental appreciation.
Participants were provided with custom trekking T-shirts and refreshments, adding an element of camaraderie and shared identity to the experience.
The trek was led by experienced trekker Rahul Prabhudesai and coordinated by Raunak Nargundker, ensuring that all logistics and safety protocols were handled seamlessly.
A Call for Healthier Lifestyles
Speaking at the event, Chirag Datta Naik emphasised the need to divert young people from sedentary digital habits towards more wholesome, real-world activities.
“Our youth spend far too much time in front of screens. Activities like trekking not only help them discover the beauty of our state but also encourage teamwork, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle. We need to create more such opportunities where young people can step outdoors, connect with nature, and nurture their well-being,” he said.
The trek concluded around 11:00 AM, with trekkers visibly recharged and inspired. Many expressed a desire to participate in similar community-based fitness initiatives in the future.
More to Come
Chirag Datta Naik shared that this is just the beginning. Plans are in motion to organise regular outdoor events — from treks and nature walks to wellness workshops — all aimed at enriching the lives of Goa’s youth.
“This is more than a trek — it’s a movement toward mindfulness, movement, and making memories in the natural beauty of Goa,” he added.
