RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and all the prant pracharaks will attend the meeting.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Sangh’s all-India publicity head Sunil Ambekar highlighted plans for expanding the organisation down to the 'Mandal' level (a group of 10-15 villages) across the country.

"Currently, we have 73,000 branches and aim to increase this to a lakh," he said.

A plan is being worked out to have at least one branch at every 'Mandal' across the country.

Ambekar added that discussions on the upcoming centenary year (2025-26) celebrations of the RSS will also be held.

"The organisation will complete 100 years on Vijayadashami in 2025," he said.

In a bid to complete the plan of work expansion for the centenary year, 3000 workers across the country will devote two years as ‘Shatabdi Vistarak’, he said.

Ambekar said that the travel plan of Bhagwat for the year 2024-25 and other all-India office bearers will be discussed at the annual meeting.

“Discussion on making our branches better, things we can do for new people who are joining the organization, besides the sports items that have been introduced this year will also take place,” he said.

Ambekar said that they aim to ensure no place is deprived of the services provided by the Sangha.

During the three-day meeting, province in-charges will also deliberate on the implementation of various organisational plans in the coming year.

Prant pracharaks are full-time RSS workers, who are in charge of its 46 'prants' or organisational provinces.

The three-day meeting will conclude on July 14 evening.
