Compared to October last year, more than 13,000 new daily Shakhas have been added. The meeting will review the achievements and experiences of the special three-year expansion plan undertaken prior to the Centenary Year.
During the Centenary Year, a total of 65,660 Hindu Sammelans were organised across the country. These gatherings were held at the Basti level in urban areas and at the Mandal level in rural areas. They received widespread support from society. The Griha Sampark Abhiyan (door-to-door outreach campaign) also witnessed enthusiastic participation. The Sangh will continue to encourage and support initiatives undertaken by social organisations and institutions for the welfare of society, drawing upon the experience of its Swayamsevaks.
Participation of Women and Youth
Women participated actively in Griha Sampark, Pramukh Jan Goshtis and Hindu Sammelans. Programmes organised for young men and women in rural areas, university campuses and other locations also witnessed encouraging participation. The aspirations of youth, their perspectives on society and the nation, and the suggestions received during these interactions will be considered while formulating future programmes.
Organisational and Social Issues
The meeting will deliberate on proposed changes in the organisational structure of the Sangh. Subsequently, before the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha scheduled to be held in Nagpur in March, the organisational election process will proceed through the district, division, province and regional levels. Subsequently election process for Sarkaryavah will be completed in Nagpur ABPS baithak.
The growing prevalence of narcotic substances will also be discussed. With the cooperation of social and educational institutions, plans will be formulated for wider public awareness campaigns, particularly to protect young people from substance abuse.
Global Dialogue and Panch Parivartan
The meeting will review the global interactions undertaken by Pujaniya Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat ji during his visits to the United States, Canada and England. Discussions will focus on taking forward the dialogue on Bharat’s civilisational thought, the proper understanding of Hindutva and Bharat’s role in the welfare of the world. Programmes organised across the country to mark the 650th birth anniversary of Sant Ravidas ji will also be reviewed.
During the Centenary Year, the Sangh undertook efforts to take the five themes of Panch Parivartan to different sections of society. These include Social Harmony (Samajik Samrasta), Environment-friendly Lifestyle, Family Enlightenment (Kutumb Prabodhan), Swadeshi and National Selfhood (Swabodh), and Civic Duties (Nagarik Kartavya). New programmes and initiatives will be planned around these themes in collaboration with various social organisations and institutions.
On the concluding day of the meeting, November 4, Sarkaryavah Ji will address a press conference, share details of the deliberations and future planning, and respond to questions from media representatives.
Responding to questions from journalists, Shri Ambekar said that during its centenary year, the Sangh’s deliberations focused on several key themes: What is Hindutva? What is Bharat? How should Bharat move forward? What are the elements that create confusion? Who is responsible for this confusion, and how can we overcome it? The Sangh does not oppose any new technology; however, as human beings, we must carefully consider how we intend to use it. In this regard, the Sangh will continue its efforts to foster awareness within society. For the past 100 years, there has been an ongoing discourse concerning the Sangh and the concept of Hindutva; the Sangh remains open to this dialogue, and everyone—from the Sarsanghchalak downwards—is always prepared for such an exchange.
