Raahgiri Day revolutionized the way Delhiites understood their roads and their right to use them. And once people realized that they could not just walk freely but also run, skip, jump and skate on their neighbourhood roads, it became a mass movement.

Modelled on the weekly Ciclovia festival in Bogota, Colombia, Raahgiri aims to promote safe public transport and encourages people to lead a healthy lifestyle by making a stretch of road traffic-free. It's organized every Sunday morning and is an NDMC, Delhi Police and Embarq India initiative supported by The Times of India. The three-hour event engages people of all ages in outdoor activities of their choice. After it made its Delhi debut in July at Connaught Place, thousands of people started coming to the Inner Circle for fun and fitness.

The success prompted the organizers to take it to other parts of the city. In December, DDA came forward to take Raahgiri to Dwarka.The success was instant--the first event had 25,000 people; the second had over 35,000.Now, there's a demand to have the event at colonies too.

It's safe to say that Raahgiri has ended the year on a high note, becoming part of Delhi's social discourse.
