Family Values, Social Harmony, Environment to be Focus Areas: Dattaji

Speaking at the Press Conference, Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh of the RSS Shri Arun Kumar appraised the media about the proceedings of the two-day meet. He informed the media that the election for the position of Sarkaryavah was held during the meet. According to him, Shri Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi who was the Sarkaryavah had expressed the desire to step aside given his advancing age. He wished to see someone younger to take up the responsibility and guide the organisation across the country.

 

Shri Arun Kumar said that the delegates of the meet deliberated on the Sangh work in the last three years and also planned for the next three years. Resolutions were also passed on culture, environment and societal issues he said.

 

The Sarkaryavah said the ABPS was not held last year due to the corona pandemic. He said today the entire society is well aware of RSS’ work and more people in India and the world are interested to know more about the Sangh. Recalling the lockdown due to the pandemic, he said swayamsevaks had to stop the Shakha during the time. As every citizen was expected to follow the restrictions, Sangh swayamsevaks, too, dutifully adhered to the lockdown norms. But this gave them an opportunity to explore new ways to serve the society. During the pandemic they served everyone in the society through various means like distributing ration and many other tasks. Like in any other calamities, the swayamsevaks were not deterred by the situation and served the society without fear or favour.

 

 

 

RSS will be completing hundred years of its existence in 2025. RSS has planned to reach every mandal in the country. Due to the corona, RSS could not hold regular shakhas. Since November, regular shakhas have begun wherever the situation was conducive and no restrictions were in place and by following all the norms suggested by the Government.

 

Informing the media about the presence of Sangh in the country, the Sarkaryavah said that shakhas are present at 34,569 locations in the country. 18,500 weekly assemblies (Milans) are happening across the country. A total of 55,652 daily shakhas are happening. 90 per cent of the shakhas have restarted. As colleges and schools are closed now not all student shakhas have restarted. But as soon as the conditions become normal, we will resume all the shakhas. RSS shakhas are present in 58,542 mandals and in 5,505 in khands/developmental blocks in the country. We plan to reach all the mandals in the next three years.

 

The Sangh will work in the cultural and other aspects in the next few years. This will be in social harmony, environment, water conservation, parirvarprabodhan to inculcate family values, etc. RSS will work towards uniting the entire society by resolving all differences. RSS will also work toward Gram Vikas to ameliorate our villages. RSS will work with many other orgs and trust to improve the quality of the soil as the quality of the soil is going down due to various reasons. Soil experts have suggested various ways to improve the situation. RSS will take it up as a large campaign with pilot projects in this regard from April 13. RSS will work on all these dimensions in the next three years.

 

Bharat has a narrative of its own and has a pearl of unique civilisational wisdom that cannot be wished away. This along with its civilisational experience and its achievements have to be conveyed to the world and the next generation. An intellectual campaign towards this will be taken up by the RSS in the next three years. The experience of our Karyakartas is the inspiration behind the Sangh work in these three dimensions in the next few years. We expect cooperation from the society and people of the country.
