The Embassy of India in Addis Ababa organised the Viksit Bharat Run 2025 on 28 September 2025 at the Football Ground near Women’s Square, Yeka Sub-City.
We were honoured by the presence of Her Excellency Dr. Ergogie Tesfaye, Minister of Women and Social Affairs, as Guest of Honour, along with H.E. Mr. Anil Kumar Rai, Ambassador of India to Ethiopia, who jointly flagged off the run. This global initiative, being held across 91 countries and 150+ locations, celebrates the vision of a Viksit Bharat @2047 – a developed India by the centenary of its independence.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from the Indian diaspora, Ethiopian friends of India, students, women, and youth, who came together in the spirit of unity, service (Seva Bhav), and fitness under the tagline “Run to Serve the Nation.”
The Embassy extends heartfelt thanks to all participants for making the event a grand success and for contributing to this global celebration of solidarity, sustainability, and shared values.
