NEW DELHI: Stating that it would take some more time for return of peace and stability in Manipur, RSS reported positive progress in Manipur and said that efforts are on to restore harmony in Manipur. Concerns over forced conversions, review of events of national interest like Operation Sindoor , and plans for Hindu Sammelans at every mandal/basti level during the Sangh’s centenary year were among the issues discussed at the RSS’ three-day Prant Pracharak Baithak that concluded in Delhi on Sunday.
RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar said all karyakartas had received the guidance of Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat and Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale. He informed that during the centenary year, Hindu Sammelans will be organised at mandal level in rural areas and basti level in urban areas with the participation of all sections of society. At present, there are 58,964 mandals and 44,055 bastis.
“Though it may take more time for complete stability to return,” Ambekar said, adding that swayamsevaks in Manipur are actively reaching out to all sections of society to build peace and mutual trust. “Swayamsevaks in Manipur are making sustained efforts to restore harmony and normalcy at the earliest. They are engaging with all communities, particularly Meitei and Kuki communities impacted by the unrest, to encourage dialogue and reconciliation. These initiatives have shown some encouraging results.”
As part of the centenary preparations, Ambekar said social harmony meetings will be organised in 11,360 blocks and towns to promote unity, while pramukh nagrik seminars in 924 districts will deliberate on topics such as the ideas of Bharat, pride of Bharat, and Bharat’s swa (selfhood). He said that a large-scale outreach programme, Ghar Ghar Sampark, will also be conducted to reach maximum households in every village and basti.
“The nation is progressing economically across all sectors, especially in technology and various facets of life. But while the country is moving forward, it is equally important to uphold our core societal values like individual welfare, harmony and environmental consciousness,” Ambekar stressed. He added that these are at the heart of Panch Parivartan (Five Transformations), a key theme of the centenary year.
On religious conversions, Ambekar reiterated that while individuals are free to practice any faith, attempts to convert people through inducements, coercion, or conspiracies are “wrong and unacceptable in any society.” He also reaffirmed that all Indian languages are national languages and that primary education in the mother tongue should be encouraged.
On secularism and socialism, Ambekar said these concepts need to be understood in the right perspective. “…the Emergency saw not only atrocities against people but also a violation of the Constitution itself. It is important for society to reflect on these realities,” he noted, adding, “The Sangh’s stand on these issues has remained consistent and rooted in its foundational thinking.”
Ambekar further informed that a total of 100 prashikshan vargs (training camps) were conducted across the country from April to June this year, training 17,609 swayamsevaks below the age of 40 and 4,270 participants in the 40–60 age group. Karyakartas from 8,812 locations attended the Sangh Shiksha Vargs.
