All organisations will also discuss necessary measures to further enhance coordination on various issues.
Further sharing the agenda of the baithak, Ambekar on August 30 told media, “Important issues of national interest, national security, social issues, current events, state-specific matters, or alarming incidents in different states, will also be discussed”.
“In this baithak, we will explore ways to enhance coordination, develop more systems—both formal and informal—and strengthen ourselves to better address issues of national importance. This baithak provides a platform for exchanging thoughts and experiences, learning from each other, and developing processes and systems for improved coordination”, he said.
During the three-day baithak, there will be both group sessions and common sessions.
To mark the significant milestone of RSS 100 years, it has proposed taking social transformation activities to the mass level. Five key initiatives, known as Panch Parivartan that will take place from Vijayadashami 2025 to Vijayadashami 2026, in which all inspired organisations will participate.
These initiatives include:
Social Harmony (Samajik Samrasta): Promoting social harmony by involving various organisations in social initiatives.
Family Awakening (Kutumbh Prabodhan): Strengthening families, especially in urban areas and modern times, to contribute to nation-building and social transformation.
Environmental Issues: Addressing environmental concerns by promoting an eco-friendly lifestyle through social participation.
Selfhood (Swa): Ensuring that our systems, language, and lifestyle reflect selfhood and decolonisation.
Civic Duties: As we celebrate the 75th year of independence, it is essential to emphasise not only our rights but also our civic duties. This will involve engaging various sections of society in understanding and fulfilling their responsibilities.
These five initiatives will be launched at the mass level during the centenary year in 2025, said Sunil Ambekar.
Additionally, violence against Hindus in Bangladesh will also be discussed. The baithak will conclude on September 2.
