Message from the Leadership
Shri Ghanshyambhai Dholakia shared his reflections– Inspired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Swachh Bharat Mission, I took the initiative to launch the Kisna Diamond Marathon in 2016 with just 350 participants. Today, it spans across 55 cities, honouring winners with natural diamonds. When Shri Prime Minister Narendra Modi learns that a Guinness World Record has emerged from our country, that too by HK, it will be a proud moment for the nation.”
Rooted in the values of discipline, unity, and social contribution, the Kisna Diamond Marathon continues to evolve as a purposeful national platform that encourages fitness, awareness, and community participation while strengthening its alignment with the spirit of a cleaner and healthier India.
