Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) 100-Year Journey Endures Because of Giving Topmost Priority to National Service

Opinion expressed by Suhas Hiremath, All-India Executive Member of RSS

Pune: “Work done with dedication, hard effort, and by giving it the highest priority in life always becomes great. When such work contributes to the welfare of the nation, society, and the world, and when it is carried out with selflessness and purity of intention, it can truly be called divine work. The work we perform is not for any individual or institution—it is divine work, and should be undertaken with that spirit. Only when we give national service the highest priority do such endeavors succeed. That is the very reason the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has continued for 100 years,” said Suhas Hiremath, All-India Executive Member of RSS.

Hiremath was speaking at the selection committee meeting held at Motibagh, where industrialist Krishnakumar Goyal, Chairman of Kohinoor Group, was unanimously elected as President of the Hindu Spiritual Service Committee. On this occasion, appointment letters were handed over to newly elected office bearers by Hiremath. The event was attended by the committee’s All-India Convenor Gunavantsingh Kothari and Pune Metropolitan Secretary Sachin Bhosale as chief guests.
