Not just festivities, RSS to focus on expansion
Hindustan Times Haryana
|May 15, 2025
Far from being limited to festivities, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) year-long centenary celebrations, to be launched on Vijayadashami 2025, will be a large-scale outreach initiative aimed at expanding the organisation's presence and increasing volunteer participation across the country.
LUCKNOW:
Spanned across 12 months, the mega events will end on Vijayadashami 2026, and will not be just confined to celebrations. The RSS has planned to reach out to maximum households and engage as many people as possible in Uttar Pradesh.
For organisational purposes, the RSS has divided Uttar Pradesh into two kshetras (regions) -- Purab (eastern) and Paschim (western).
The eastern region comprises four prants -- Kashi, Goraksh, Awadh, and Kanpur. The western region comprises Meerut, Brij, and Uttarakhand.
Despite Uttarakhand being a different state, it is part of the RSS's Paschim Kshetra of Uttar Pradesh. The centenary celebrations will start with 'Utsav 2025' on Vijayadashami in October this year.
