Every swayamsevak has immense respect to it. ?Though the workers bloom in their respective working fields, they come here unitedly to get additional training. The Sangh work is a sadhana. We may face various difficulties while performing this sadhana. Whatever problems block our way, we have to move ahead as it is the God'swork. We repeat it in our daily prayer at the shakha. We have to dedicate ourselves to the Sangh work without fearing, only then the objective of organising this Varga will be achieved,? he added. (VSK, Nagpur)
