New Delhi: With an aim to have 1 lakh sabhas across the country by 2025, its centenary year, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is convening this week for its annual meet, the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, at Nagpur.
Over 1,529 representatives from across the country and members from 32 Sangh outfits and some other RSS-affiliated organisations, including BJP president J P Nadda, will be at the meet. The three-day event will be held between March 15 and 17 at ‘Smriti Bhavan’ complex in Reshim Bagh here.
A resolution hailing the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the election for the position of the Sahkaryavah will take place during the three-day conclave.
“The Pran Pratishtha of Shri Ram Lalla on January 22 this year has ushered in an environment of excitement and joy. This historic event is very important in the Bharatiya perspective. The Pratinidhi Sabha will pass a resolution,” RSS publicity head Sunil Ambekar said.
Speaking to reporters, Ambekar said that during the Pratinidhi Sabha, they will also discuss the ‘Panch Parivartan’ programme which includes five key points for social transformation. This includes samajik samrasata (social harmony), kutumb prabodhan (family awakening), paryavaran (environment), the insistence on ‘swa’ (self) and the duties of the citizens, Ambekar said.
The Pratinidhi Sabha will be held in Nagpur after six years. Elections for positions of members of the Akhil Bhartiya Karyakarni Mandal (national executive) and Sarkaryawah (general secretary) will be held during the meeting, Ambekar added.
They will also discuss plans to take the number of shakhas from 68,000 to 1 lakh by Vijayadashmi 2025 as the organisation completes a hundred years of existence. During the Pratinidhi Sabha, all shakhas will report and discuss their activities, issues and the efforts towards possible solutions, Ambekar added.
The RSS will also release a statement on the centenary birth year of Malwa queen Ahilyabai Holkar, which will be observed between May 2024 and April 2025. “The Pratinidhi Sabha will also discuss the Sangh Shiksha Varg with a newly revised curriculum,” he said.
