Royal Enfield, Shikhar Dhawan Foundation ride Miles of Smiles
On the heels of National Tourism Day, Shikhar Dhawan Foundation and the Eicher Group Foundation, Royal Enfield’s CSR and Sustainability arm, organized an innovative ride to encourage the Indian motorcycle community—including Shikhar Dhawan himself—to come together and ride for the cause of community upliftment.
More than 500 motorcycle enthusiasts from Amritsar, Delhi, and Agra travelled on January 28 and 29 of 2023 with hearts as big as their machines to deliver various types of relief to schools, orphanages, blind schools, zero-line communities, and other places where supplies and logistics are frequently scarce.
Sewing machines were among the many items that were given out, and they were given to ladies who could sew to assist them make a living. Along with customized hygiene packages, specialized walking sticks for the blind and high-quality wheelchairs for the disabled were also supplied. Along with ration supplies that will sustain a family of four for a month, shawls, and clothing, art kits were also distributed. Additionally, two bio-toilets were set up in Delhi’s tourist areas.
The riders travelled three scenic or famous routes through Amritsar, from the Golden Temple all the way to the Indo-Pak border close to Wagah. The Taj Mahal in Agra served as the starting point and Mathura and Vrindavan as the destination. The voyage began in Delhi at the Royal Enfield brand store in Saket.
