In a post on X, CM Dhami wrote, "The Golden Journey of National Worship...!" A hundred years ago, the most revered Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar ji sowed the sacred seed of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which today has grown into a colossal banyan tree. Over the past century, the Sangh has served Mother India ceaselessly through nation-building of national character, social and cultural awakening, and the nation's resurgence."

"For this unparalleled contribution, I express heartfelt gratitude to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and its great luminaries who have shouldered the responsibility of its leadership. On the 100th anniversary of the establishment of RSSorg, hearty congratulations and best wishes to all volunteers," the post read.

Founded in 1925 in Nagpur, Maharashtra, by Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the RSS was established as a volunteer-based organisation with the goal of fostering cultural awareness, discipline, service, and social responsibility among citizens.

A day earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as the Chief Guest at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for its long-standing commitment to nation-building. He said the RSS has helped nurture and strengthen countless lives over the years.

Speaking during the centenary celebrations of RSS in the national capital, PM Modi said, "Just as human civilisations flourish along the banks of mighty rivers, similarly, hundreds of lives have blossomed and thrived along the banks and in the flow of the RSS. Since its formation, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has pursued a grand objective. That objective has been nation-building."

While I respect their contributions, I wish RSS would focus more on contemporary social issues and be more inclusive in their approach. The organization has potential to do even more good if they adapt to modern India's diversity.

The banyan tree analogy is perfect! Just like a banyan tree provides shelter to all, RSS has nurtured countless Indians through their various service projects. Their disaster relief work during floods and COVID was remarkable.

It's heartening to see our leaders acknowledging organizations that work silently for national development. RSS volunteers' work in remote areas often goes unnoticed but makes a huge difference in people's lives.
