The meeting will start at 9 am on Sunday and will culminate at 6 pm on Tuesday. All together 381 workers from across the country representing Akhil Bharatiya Karyakarini Baithak are expected to be present.
Prant Sanghchalaks, Karyavah and Prant Pracharaks and their sah-Sanghchalaks, sah-Karyavahs and sah-Prant pracharaks from total 45 prants will participate in this Baithak.
Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat, Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale and sah-Sarkaryavah Dr Krishnagopal, Dr Manmohan Vaidya, Mukunda, Arun Kumar, Ramdutt Chakradhar and all the members of Karykarani including all Akhil Bharatiya Adhikaris will be present as well.
Besides, Sangathan Mantris of selected Sangathan’s including Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Bharatiya Janata Party, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh will also participate in the Baithak.
Addressing a press conference over the Baithak, RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar said that along with the review of organizational works of the Sangh, the topics raised in Akhil Bharatiya Samanvay Baithak held in Pune last September and in line with Sarsanghchalak Bhagwat’s address of Vijayadashami Utsav will also be discussed.
As a follow-up to the notable issues, various relevant topics will be addressed. There will be discussion also about expected changes in context of the society. An example includes a plan on changing the curriculum of Pratham Varsh, Dwitiya Varsh & Tritiya Varsh of Sangh Shiksha varg. A new curriculum will be implemented in the upcoming Sangh Shiksha Varg by 2024.
Among the proposed programs across Bharat, Ram Temple Pran-Pratistha Mahotsav (which is going to be held at Ayodhya on 22 January 2024) will be discussed. A wide spread program has been planned in different temples covering each city and village across the country.
How the Sangh will participate in this historic event will be discussed in this meeting, after which this information will be passed on to all the Swayamsevak & will pave its way to awaken the society in this regard.
Since the inception of RSS in 1925, its founder Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar had begun this work which is continuously growing for 98 years. As it will be 100 years in 2025, continuous work is being done on plans to expand further. Many people have contributed with their time and Shatabdi Vistaraks have also emerged.
Keeping this in mind, the targets that were set in this context are being reviewed every six months continuously in regards to the expansion of our shakha work. In this meeting, there will be a review on the assessment of that target, too.
There will be a discussion on ‘how are we going to achieve our goals in the next one and a half years’ and along with a review of what has been done so far. Another discussion on how it can be given further momentum will also take place. In the context of centenary year, how it should be brought before the society will be one of the important topics of discussion.
During his Vijayadashami address, Sarsanghchalak called for undaunted efforts for social change in the areas around the Shakha. Specific calls like seeking social harmony, ways to co-exist with the environment, saving water, minimizing use of plastic and how to create a happy family etc will be highlighted. Swadeshi and civic duty made for which the Swayamsevak have to take initiative by taking the society along with them, he added.
