The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) organised Samanvay Baithak from August 31 to September 2 in Palakkad, Kerala. Multiple critical issues were addressed, focusing on women’s safety, cultural heritage, and national unity. The baithak was led by RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh, Sunil Ambekar ji, who outlined the key decisions and strategies discussed during the meeting.
The significant focus of the baithak was on Panch Parivartan (Five Transformations), which is central to the centenary celebrations of RSS. The Panch Parivartan initiative emphasises:

The 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar will be marked with events recognising her contributions to societal improvements. Additionally, the 500th anniversary of Rani Durgavati’s reign will be celebrated by Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, with support from various organisations.
Further, the baithak addressed several regional issues with a focus on practical solutions and collaborative efforts:
The RSS centenary is set to go beyond mere celebrations, with plans to implement social programs aimed at fostering positive societal change under the “Country First” motto.
During the Samanvay Baithak, deep concern was expressed over recent incidents in Bangladesh following the regime change, with calls for government intervention to protect Hindus and temples. The RSS also took a serious stance on mass conversions in Tamil Nadu, emphasising that poverty should not be exploited for conversions.
The Baithak recognised the commendable efforts of the RSS and Sevabharati in Wayanad, particularly in response to the devastating landslides, which received extensive coverage on Janam TV.
The discussion also highlighted the need for careful handling of reservations and caste census issues, stressing that these measures should benefit deserving communities rather than serve as tools for vote bank politics.
The Samanvay Baithak will conclude on September 2, afternoon with a valedictory address by RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat.
The baithak concluded with a keynote address by the Sarsanghchalak, who reinforced the importance of these transformations in achieving national progress. The emphasis was on ensuring that caste issues and other sensitive topics are addressed thoughtfully and do not become political tools that compromise national unity and integrity.
