परम पूज्य सरसंघचालक डॉ. मोहन भागवत जी ने अपने प्रेरक उद्बोधन में राष्ट्र निर्माण में संघ के अतुलनीय योगदान पर प्रकाश डाला है। उन्होंने भारतवर्ष के उस सामर्थ्य को भी रेखांकित किया है, जो देश को सशक्त बनाने के साथ-साथ संपूर्ण मानवता के लिए भी कल्याणकारी है। #RSS100Years https://t.co/gsB8Sy4LPl

Earlier during his initial days, Prime Minister Modi was an RSS pracharak before he was moved to the BJP in the 1980s. Modi then further went on to become an MLA in the state assembly before becoming the chief minister of Gujarat.
In his speech on Thursday in Nagpur, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief said that “the strength and character of the Hindu society guarantee unity, and that the concept of ‘us and them’ never existed in the community,” as per PTI.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also advocated swadeshi (use of indigenous products) and swavalamban (self-reliance) and said that the positions of other nations after the Pahalgam terror attack showed the nature and extent of their friendship with India.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was founded in Vijayadashmi in 1925. With the completion of 100 years of RSS, the Sangh on Thursday is observing its centenary year.
The outfit, which started with a few people, has grown to become the country's most widespread non-government organisation.

Ram Nath Kovind also emphasised that, “I was inspired by the values of national unity and social harmony shared by Dr Ambedkar and Dr Hedgewar. There is no casteism and discrimination in RSS,” as per PTI.
The former president further said that the RSS founder's ‘vichar’ (ideologies) helped him clearly understand the society and the nation.
