The concluding ceremony of the 15-day ongoing Sangh Shiksha Varg (general) organised by the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was held on Sunday, June 28 at Sai International School in Hiranagar in Kathua district.
RSS Uttar Kshetra (north zone) Pracharak Jatin was the keynote speaker for the event, while Gangadhar Shastri from the Samadhi Sthal, Sohanjana, Jammu was the chief guest.
Addressing the gathering, the keynote speaker and RSS Kshetra Pracharak Jatin called upon the society and volunteers (Swayamsevaks) to adopt the ‘Panch Parivartan’ (five transformations) in their lives. He stated that under the Panch Parivartan, everyone should incorporate social harmony, family awakening, an environment-friendly lifestyle, adherence to civic duties and Swadeshi into their daily lives.
Discussing the 100-year journey of the Sangh, he mentioned that Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar deeply analysed the prevailing circumstances in India at the time and concluded that nothing could be achieved without organising the Hindu society. Consequently, he founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1925.
Highlighting the current curiosity within society to learn about the Sangh, Jatin urged people to understand the organisation not from the outside, but by coming inside and experiencing it firsthand. He added that the world was passing through a dark alley, and in such times, the entire globe was looking toward India.
He emphasised that everyone must work together to combat drug addiction and overcome national challenges.
RSS north zone Pracharak stated that India has emerged as the fastest-growing economy in the entire world, making all-round progress in every aspect. “To sustain this continuity, it is essential for society to work unitedly,” he said.
The chief guest, while praising the dedication and discipline of the Sangh volunteers towards the nation and society, remarked, “Today, the country and society stand strong because of organisations working with such a selfless spirit. This is precisely why the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has successfully completed its 100-year journey since its inception.”
The event also witnessed the presence of RSS Jammu & Kashmir Prant Sanghchalak Dr Gautam Mengi along with the Sarvadhikari of Sangh Shiksha Varg Kuldeep Kumar.
During the 15-day camp, the trainees, as per a press statement, were imparted various types of formal training. To build physical robustness, physical training sessions were conducted daily in the morning and evening. Intellectual training (Baudhik) was provided to foster mental and ideological clarity. The volunteers were trained in collective living—learning to complete all tasks according to a set system while maintaining harmony and cooperation with everyone.
Alongside the training on ‘Panch Parivartan’, the trainees were also guided to further develop their sensitivity and sense of service.
