10/11/2026

NAGPUR, Nov 9: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday said the selfless lives and dedicated service of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh pracharaks and swayamsevaks should inspire people to contribute to the progress of the country and society.
Addressing an event marking the inauguration of the Nagpur Nagrik Bank building and release of a book on RSS pracharaks, Bhagwat said the Sangh's century-long journey was founded on its "man-making methodology", which seeks to improve individuals for the benefit of society and the nation.
He said pracharaks dedicate their lives to the organisation without personal expectations, recognition or reward, and their commitment provides a stable foundation for swayamsevaks.
"A pracharak is also a human being, a person like us. But he gives everything of his own and surrenders his personal wishes to the Sangh," Bhagwat said.
He recalled that RSS founder K B Hedgewar believed the country's progress depended on making individuals better. The organisation had since worked towards developing individuals who dedicate themselves to society, he said.
Bhagwat said swayamsevaks strive to develop themselves and contribute whatever they can for the welfare of society. Though individuals may differ in their level of commitment, their efforts are guided by the same ideal, he added.
He said pracharaks played an important role in sustaining the commitment of swayamsevaks through their personal example and dedication.
The RSS completing 100 years was the result of the continuous contribution of pracharaks and volunteers, Bhagwat said, adding that some dedicate a part of their time while others devote their entire lives to the organisation.
Describing the book release and inauguration of the bank building as symbols of dedication and its outcome, Bhagwat said the lives of pracharaks offered examples of working for society without selfishness or personal gain.
