During his busy schedule, the RSS chief met with the inmates of hostel of Sewa Bharti at Keshav Bhawan. He interacted with the students and inquired about their educational activities. The students also got a moral boosting after meeting Dr Bhagwat.
Kshatriya Sanghchalak Sita Ram Vyas and Sanghchalak of J&K Prant Dr. Goutam Mengi were also present on the stage.
Later, the RSS chief also addressed the Sangh Pracharks at Bharatiya Yog Sansthan, Gole Gujral and discussed the role of Shakhas (RSS drill) with them. Dr Bhagwat while stating that Shakhas transform the lives of Swayamsevaks, bringing discipline and dedication towards nation in them, said an RSS volunteer does not remain confined to Shakhas only but works in society for its total transformation by imbibing the spirit of patriotism and selfless service among the people also.
He said while Shakhas build character of Swayamsevaks, their main task is to dedicate themselves in service of society. A disciplined society can make strong nation which can withstand all challenges. The Shakhas act as battery charger for a Swayamsewak to make him a disciplined and dedicated citizen who forgets himself and his family and is devoted in the service of society and nation as a whole, he added.
Dr Bhagwat said that the work of Sangh is not aggression but awakening of Samaj (society). A Swayamsevak is always vigilant to guide the society in all challenges. Stressing on equality in society, he said this is must for strengthening and creating harmony in the society.
Maintaining that the discipline in Samaj is most essential, Dr Bhagwat said that Swayamsevaks have to work for strengthening bonds in the society. He said the Sangh will complete its 100 years of foundation in 2025 and highlighted the role performed by RSS in last one century. He asked the Swayamsevaks that they should create Jagran Toli (awareness group) in every Mohalla in J&K including Kashmir besides Ladakh to apprise the people about the role of Sangh.
Tomorrow the RSS chief will address the working Committees of J&K and Ladakh here in the morning. The pracharaks from Ladakh headed by Vijay Chillnpa, a Working Committee member from the region have reached Jammu to participate in the meeting.
