Nagpur, Nov 9 : Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday said the dedication and selfless service of RSS pracharaks and swayamsevaks should inspire people to contribute to the development of the nation and society.
Addressing an event in Nagpur, Bhagwat highlighted the importance of the RSS’s 100-year journey and its approach to developing individuals for the benefit of society. The event marked the inauguration of the Nagpur Nagrik Bank building and the release of a book documenting the lives and contributions of RSS pracharaks.
RSS Pracharaks’ Dedication to Society
Mohan Bhagwat said RSS pracharaks dedicate their lives to the organisation without expecting personal benefits, recognition or rewards. Their commitment and discipline provide inspiration to swayamsevaks and help strengthen the organisation.
According to Bhagwat, a pracharak gives priority to the organisation’s responsibilities over personal wishes and ambitions. Wherever the organisation assigns him work, he accepts the responsibility and dedicates himself to it.
He added that pracharaks do not expect appreciation or gratitude, even after spending their entire lives working for the organisation.
Bhagwat said the books documenting their lives were being published out of respect and gratitude. However, he noted that their dedication and experiences could not be fully explained through words.
RSS Man-Making Methodology and Nation Building
Explaining the RSS philosophy, Bhagwat said the organisation’s century-long journey was built around a ‘man-making methodology’. The approach focuses on improving individuals so that society and the country can progress.
He recalled that RSS founder K B Hedgewar believed that the development of the nation depended on developing good individuals.
Hedgewar understood that when individuals improve their character and conduct, society as a whole benefits, Bhagwat said. The RSS has continued working towards this objective since its establishment.
Swayamsevaks’ Commitment to Selfless Service
Bhagwat said swayamsevaks follow the principle of developing themselves and dedicating their abilities to society.
He acknowledged that not every swayamsevak could completely follow this ideal because of personal ambitions, family responsibilities, fears and attachments. However, he said their efforts generally moved in the same direction.
He also pointed out that thousands of swayamsevaks had given up personal expectations and dedicated themselves to working for the country’s future.
Pracharaks Provide a Strong Foundation for RSS
According to Bhagwat, the presence and commitment of pracharaks play an important role in keeping swayamsevaks connected to the organisation’s objectives.
He described pracharaks as a stable foundation for the RSS, helping volunteers maintain their commitment to social service and organisational responsibilities.
He further said the RSS had completed 100 years not because of anyone’s favour, but because generations of pracharaks and swayamsevaks had voluntarily contributed their time and efforts.
While some volunteers dedicate a part of their time to the organisation, others choose to spend their entire lives working towards its objectives, he added.
Book Release Highlights Contributions of RSS Pracharaks
The Nagpur event featured two important occasions: the inauguration of the Nagpur Nagrik Bank building and the release of a book on RSS pracharaks.
Bhagwat described the book as a reflection of the dedication and commitment of individuals, while the bank building represented the results of collective efforts.
He said both occasions highlighted the relationship between personal sacrifice and the outcomes of sustained work.
