The Vande Mataram Coastal Cyclothon (VMCC) 2026, organised by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), entered Goa as part of its nationwide coastal rally promoting patriotism and fitness.
The rally participants received a warm welcome at Dhargal in Pernem. The cyclists were greeted by North Goa Collector Ankit Yadav, IAS, along with noted Marathi actor Mrunal Kulkarni.
The cyclothon was flagged off from Lakhpat Fort in Gujarat and is being conducted along India’s coastal belt to spread awareness about national security, unity, and environmental responsibility.
The rally’s arrival in Goa marked another significant milestone in its journey, drawing local attention and appreciation for the CISF’s initiative to combine patriotism with public engagement and community participation.
