The three-day national executive meeting of RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) scheduled to begin on Thursday at Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra near Dharwad will deliberate on attacks on the minority Hindus in Bangladesh, among other issues.
Addressing presspersons at the Vidya Kendra located at Garag in Dharwad taluk on Tuesday, RSS National Prachar Pramukh (Publicity in-charge) Sunil Ambekar said that meaningful patriotic programmes as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, promoting Swadeshi products and finalising programmes to mark the centenary year celebrations of the sangha in 2025 are also on the agenda.
Mr. Ambekar said that Sarsanghachalak (chief) Mohan Bhagwat will chair the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) this year and review the action plan. As many as 350 delegates, including sarakaryavah (General Secretary) Dattatreya Hosabale, and various regional and national office-bearers will participate in the meeting.
He said that around 10 lakh volunteers of Seva Bharati had taken up relief work during the pandemic and further training will also be imparted to swayamsevaks on handling the crisis in the event of another wave.
