Detailed Discussion to be Held on Shatabdi Varsh (Centenary Year) Programmes

Three-Day Akhil Bharatiya Prant Pracharak Meeting in Delhi (04-06 July, 2025)

 

New Delhi, 03 July 2025.

 

A three-day Akhil Bharatiya Prant Pracharak Baithak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is set to be held at Keshav Kunj (Delhi) from 04 to 06 July, 2025. The meeting will primarily focus on organisational matters. This is not a decision-making meeting. The discussions will revolve around the progress and experiences of organisational work in various prants. The meeting will also address the functioning of various karya vibhags.

 

The meeting will be graced by the presence of Pujniya Sarsanghchalak Ji and Mananiya Sarkaryavah Ji, whose guidance is received by all karyakartas (volunteers). All Sah-Sarkaryavahs (Joint General Secretaries), heads of karya vibhags, and Akhil Bharatiya Sangathan Mantris (All-India Organisational Secretaries) of 32 RSS-inspired organizations will be present.

 

RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar Ji, in a media interaction today at Keshav Kunj, shared information about the agenda of the upcoming meeting. He was accompanied by Sah Prachar Pramukh Narendra Thakur and Pradeep Joshi.

 

He informed that since March, 100 Prashikshan Vargs (training camps) have been conducted across the country. Of these, 75 were for swayamsevaks below the age of 40, and 25 were for those between 40 and 60 years. During these training camps, various karya vibhags, including Seva Vibhag (Service Department), provided focused training. Swayamsevaks are also involved in sthaayi prakalp (permanent service projects), and actively participate in relief work during disasters. For instance, they contributed during the Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra and the Ahmedabad plane crash incident.

 

He mentioned that the key focus of this meeting is the Shatabdi Varsh (Centenary Year). All prants have prepared their own plans, which will be discussed in detail. Information related to this will be shared post the meeting.

The Shatabdi Varsh will formally commence in Nagpur on 02 October with the Vijayadashami Utsav, in the presence of Pujniya Sarsanghchalak Ji. Following this, Shatabdi Varsh events will continue for a full year. On the same day, celebrations will be held across the country at the shakha, mandal, and basti (unit, circle, and locality) levels.

 

As part of a special outreach, swayamsevaks will conduct a Grih Sampark Abhiyan (Door-to-Door Contact Campaign), wherein they will visit homes, distribute Sangh Sahitya (RSS literature), and hold discussions.

At the nagar/khand (division) levels across the country, Samajik Sadvav Baithaks (Social Harmony Meetings) will be organized. People from different sections of society will come together to deliberate on removing social evils and fostering harmony and unity. Additionally, at zilla kendras (district centers), pramukh nagrik goshthis (distinguished citizen seminars) will be held. These gatherings will engage in dialogue around Hindutva, national interest, and the vision for future Bharat.

 

Special programs will also be organized with a focus on youth participation in view of the Shatabdi Varsh.

He further informed that discussions will also take place on the pravās yojana (travel/visit plan) of Pujniya Sarsanghchalak Ji for the Shatabdi Varsh. Vishesh Samvad events with Sarsanghchalak Ji will be conducted in four major cities - Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, where distinguished members of society will be invited.

He said that there is a visible surge in curiosity and enthusiasm in society to know about and connect with the Sangh. A large number of youths are expressing interest in joining. This year’s Prashikshan Vargs saw significant youth participation. Moreover, between April and June, 28,571 people registered online through the “Join RSS” platform.

 

He concluded by stating that, in view of the Shatabdi Varsh (Centenary Year), the RSS has put forth a vision of Panch Parivartan (Fivefold Transformations), aimed at bringing about positive societal change through collective participation. This vision includes promoting Samajik Samarasata (social harmony), encouraging environment-friendly lifestyles, fostering Swabodh ka Gaurav (Sense of pride in selfhood), strengthening familial bonds and cultural values within families (kutumb mein aatmiyaata aur sanskaar), and enhancing awareness about the importance of fulfilling one’s naagrik kartavya (civic duties). RSS Swayamsevaks will work in collaboration with society to take this vision forward.
