The hundred-year journey of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is rooted in a methodology focused on molding individuals. It is precisely due to the dedicated work of these Swayamsevaks that the Sangh has remained continuously active for the past century, stated RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat on Monday. He was talking at the inauguration of the new, state-of-the-art headquarters and auditorium of the Nagpur Nagarik Sahakari Bank Limited (NNSBL), along with the release of the book ‘Vidarbhatil Sangh-karyache Saptarshi’ authored by RSS Pracharak Shyam Harkare took place on Monday at the bank’s auditorium on Central Avenue.

 

Dr Mohan Bhagwat, who inaugurated the facilities, addressed the gathering. Also, present on the dais were Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Shyam Harkare, Chairman of NNSBL, (MLA) Prof. Sanjay Bhende, and Vice-Chairman Ashok Agrawal (Goyal). Speaking on the occasion, Mohan Bhagwat said, “RSS Pracharaks dedicate their lives to the organisation without any trace of selfishness, ego, or personal expectation. They harbour no personal desires. A ‘Pracharak’ is an individual just like any of us, yet he offers everything he has. He dedicates them all to the Sangh.Now, a hundred years later, books are being written about these ‘Pracharaks’ yet, none of them ever expected this, nor will they ever expect it in the future.” Nitin Gadkari remarked, “The Sangh has performed the task of transforming ordinary individuals into extraordinary personalities. The hallmark of the Sangh is its ‘Dev-durlabh’ volunteers. However, such workers are not born, they are shaped through the work of the Sangh.” The event was attended by several prominent figures, including Shridhar Gadge, Sah Sanghchalak of RSS Vidarbha Region, Sachin Shende, Regional Director of RBI, MLA Krishna Khopde, and BJP City President.
