Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, October 1, attended the celebrations of the Centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and said that the RSS was dedicated to the construction of the nation since its foundation 100 years ago.

“The RSS Foundation a century ago reflects the lasting spirit of the national conscience which increased to meet the challenges of each era,” said Prime Minister Modi.

“The foundation of a century of RSS work is based on the objective of building the nation, a clear personal development path and the dynamic Shakha practice (branch),” he added.

The Prime Minister said that the RSS had made many sacrifices and remained guided by a principle – “nation first” and an objective – “EK Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat” (One India, Great India), adding that despite this, attempts were made to prevent it from joining the National Mainstream after independence.
