UMEED 1000 Cyclothon 2020 Dates: 27th November 2020 - 11th December 2020'


About UMEED

UMEED 1000 Cyclothon supported by RBL Bank has been a movement of people united by a common purpose - to make a difference in the lives of marginalized communities through positive action. In 2014, UMEED1000 Cyclothon has raised funds for cancer care and treatment. Thereon from 2016 onwards the UMEED1000 Cyclothon has focused on raising funds for Girl Child Education and has been able to provide education to 1000 children from Udbhav RBL Schools in Hyderabad. Access to quality education is the Bank’s CSR mission for impacting marginalized communities. The Bank is fulfilling this commitment by creating Udbhav RBL Schools across India. The global pandemic has ushered in a new reality for children from these communities who were already struggling to attain classroom education.

This year, RBL Bank is back with the 7th edition of UMEED 1000 Cyclothon. We are committed to supporting continued education for these children despite the challenges of Covid-19. These children display the true spirit of Mujhe Roke Na Koi (Nothing Can Stop Me), the theme of this year’s Cyclothon.

You have the power to make a difference and every small contribution you make, will impact their lives.

IIMA Alumni Association and Udbhav School

IIMAAAHCCT took over a school facing imminent closure in Rasoolpura, designated as a notified slum of Hyderabad in April 2013. The school selectively admits students from families having a household income of less than Rs. 10,000/- per month with an objective of providing them low-cost high-quality education. Udbhav School, Rasoolpura provides education to 587 students from Grades I to X. IIMAAAHCCT works with a vision to transform the lives of at least 10,000 underprivileged children and their families by 2025. This vision can be achieved if more Udbhav Schools start operating providing quality education in other slums in Hyderabad and other cities in India.

IIMAAAHCCT is proud to announce the take over of a second school, Udbhav RBL School, Fatehnagar having 366 students in July 2019. Udbhav Schools are catering to the educational needs of 950 underprivileged students and the numbers are expected to rise in the following academic years. We are delighted to share the exceptional academic performance of our students in SSC-2019 conducted by Telangana State Government. The members of IIMAAAHC will continue to strive to impact more students while improving the academic performance of Udbhav students.

FAQ's

In order to Qualify for Umeed 1000 – 2020, you need to achieve the following:

  • Finish riding 125KM in any of the 2 days of 1st, 7th, or 8th of November
  • Be among the first 50 riders to do so.
  • Important: Please note that there are limited slots on this event. Even though you have 3 specified days to complete 125KM, those who finish early have a higher chance of earning a slot than those who finish later.

You need to submit the proof of completion through tracker data from Strava or LifeCykul. You can record on bike computers such as Garmin or Wahoo and then import them into Strava & LifeCykul subsequently. The finish-time of the rides will be as per these recordings and the import/transfer cannot be later than 8 hours from the completion of the ride. Manual uploads, e-bike/mo-bike rides, & indoor rides will not be considered for qualification. Riders are fully & solely responsible to ensure that their trackers are working properly and that they have fail-safe measures through use of multiple trackers. Umeed-1000 will not consider any cases of tracker mal-functions, technology glitches, & data-losses for whatever reason.

Your choice. Our only advice is – be safe! Under no circumstances should you compromise your safety and well being for the sake of qualification. There will be plenty of other occasions to participate in the events such as Umeed-1000, so use your judgment, choose time and place wisely, and do your rides following all applicable traffic rules.

Further, choose a bike that makes your ride comfortable and enjoyable. Carry enough water, food, spares, & other necessary supplies. As much as possible, ride with friends, colleagues, or other like-minded people, so that everyone has some help and support when necessary. Most important of all – please keep in mind, WHY we are doing this. Over the last 6 years, Umeed-1000 has been not just a bike ride – but, a support line for HUNDREDS of under-privileged kids. We ride for THEM – not for US! Our riders are beyond symbolic victories and we always place THEIR well-being beyond our “wins” of medals, certificates, goodies, & such. We work very hard to enlist the services of the riders who believe in this mission and are willing to sacrifice their comfort and material-gains for the sake of the education of girl children.
