Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarsanghchalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, during his two-day stay in Chhattisgarh, has given extremely inspiring and comprehensive guidance regarding nation building, social harmony and the working culture of the organization. The Sangh chief, who reached Bilaspur, underlined the deep interrelationship between the society and the volunteers and said that the ultimate goal of a selfless volunteer is not to achieve anything from the society or to gain position and prestige, but to sacrifice everything for the all-round upliftment of his motherland and society. He clarified that the Sangh is not a separate entity, but is an organized force originating from within the society which stands as a constant shield against the tendencies that break and disintegrate the country. This visit of Dr. Bhagwat is taking place at a time when the Sangh is entering a new phase of its expansion in this important state of Central India, where extensive preparations are going on from decentralization of the organizational structure to strengthening the network of branches in remote tribal areas.
While addressing the intellectuals and senior preachers in the intellectual class organized at Saraswati Shishu Mandir complex in Koni, Bilaspur, the Sangh chief explained the existence of volunteer through a very simple and scientific example. He said that just as the chemically correct union of oxygen and hydrogen creates life-giving water, in the same way the thoughts of the Sangh and the selfless conduct of the volunteers together create an ideal society. Volunteers spread positive energy and harmony in the society through their conduct. In his address, he remembered the sacrificial life of the founder of the Sangh, respected Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar and described him as a banyan tree-like seed, who dedicated his entire life to the sacred objective of serving the country. The same small seed planted by Dr. Hedgewar has today blossomed into the largest voluntary and cultural organization in the entire world and is leading the cultural renaissance of India.
On Thursday, the first day of his stay, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat participated in marathon meetings throughout the day and took a detailed review of the functioning of the organization with the officials. In these meetings, a special strategy was prepared on the upcoming campaigns, service works and contact expansion of the Sangh in Bastar, Surguja and other Vananchal (tribal) areas of Chhattisgarh. Officials of provincial groups and heads of affiliated organizations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh presented their annual action plans before the Sangh chief. In the meeting, there was a serious discussion on how to counter religious conversion, social evils and the propaganda of foreign forces spreading confusion through service, education and health projects. The Sangh chief directed all the heads to ensure that the service works of the Sangh reach out to the last person in the society, so that the sense of nationalism and self-respect remains awakened in every section.
This stay of the Sangh chief is being considered very historic from the administrative and organizational point of view. In view of the expansion of the organization in Chhattisgarh, increasing geographical scope and number of branches, the outline for reorganizing the state into two divisional units (North and South Chhattisgarh) is now being finalized. Under the proposed arrangement, an autonomous and strong organizational structure will be established in both the divisions on the lines of State Provincial Executive. Under this, there is a plan to form a separate executive of about 22 key officials in each division, which will include all the responsibilities including division Sanghchalak, division Karyavah, campaigner and intellectual head. This decentralization will bring unprecedented speed in quick decision making and implementation of programs in districts, tehsils and remote gram panchayats. There is a strong possibility that official announcements and guidelines regarding this new structure will be issued after the upcoming sessions on Friday.
In the last phase of his address, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat alerted everyone about the disruptive forces operating within and outside the country. He said that by making India’s diversity its weakness, a well-planned conspiracy is being hatched to divide the society on the basis of caste, language, region and class. In such a time, every volunteer of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is working as a pioneer of ‘social harmony’. He pledged to the volunteers to be consistent with every section of the society, completely eliminate untouchability and discrimination and implement the principle of ‘one well, one temple, one crematorium’ in practice. He reiterated that only when the society itself awakens and understands its duties, the nation reaches the pinnacle of ultimate glory, and with this objective in mind, the branches of the Sangh are running a silent yagya of building values in every corner of the country without any selfishness.
