Jammu: “In the past hundred years, the Sangh has attempted to reach every section of society through daily Shakhas, service activities, educational and social initiatives. The Sangh’s core vision has always been to build a strong, confident, culturally aware, and organised Bharat. Swayamsevaks have generally been contributing in various spheres of social life silently and with a spirit of selflessness,” said RSS Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale.
He was speaking at the ‘Pramukh Jan Goshthi’ (Prominent Citizen’s Meet) organised on the occasion of centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at the Convention Hall, Canal Road, Jammu on December 6.
Regarding the direction ahead, he emphasised the need to connect more and more youth with positive social activities, to weave society together rising above all forms of discrimination and through social harmony, to protect the environment, to strengthen the institution of the family and community-based life values, and to encourage every citizen to contribute actively to nation-building.
