Pune February 16: RSS Sarasanghachalak Mohan Bhagwat delivered a special a lecture at the 11th anniversary of GURUKUL, a school for tribals founded by Girish Prabhune, an activist at Pune, Maharashtra.

A report on the National conference on ‘Research For Resurgence’ organised by RSS inspired Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal was held at the Visveswaraiyya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) from February 11 to 13 at Nagpur.

Nagpur: More than 700 academicians, researchers, bureaucrats, politicians and decision makers/policy makers from corporate houses attended the ‘Research For Resurgence’ conference that sought to chalk out a framework for ensuring research in the laboratories/academic institutions is made applicable for the development of India.

The conference was aimed at initiating a paradigm shift in research orientation so as to make it indigenous, holistic, integrated, and meaningful, and also imbibe an all-perspective ‘Bharatiya’ approach.

Smriti Irani, Union HRD Minister, inaugurated the three-day conference in the presence of Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, and Aniruddh Deshpande, senior educationist. The conference ‘Research For Resurgence’ was organised by Bharatiya Shikshan Mandal and supported by Bharat Niti. It was held at the Visveswaraiyya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) from February 11 to 13 at Nagpur.

“Why demonise Indian Science? Why demonise what was good in ancient Indian Science?” Irani asked during the inaugural ceremony. “When I say modern Physics is exemplification of Indic knowledge, it is seen as saffronisation attempt, but when I say that this is scientist Oppenheimer’s statement, it becomes acceptable.”

Questioning the attitude to ‘demonise’ Indian science, Irani said the BJP-led NDA government’s efforts have succeeded in getting the statue of ancient Indian Mathematician and astronomer Aryabhatta to be installed at UNESCO in April this year.

Fadnavis announced on this occasion that his government will set up ‘Model Laboratories’ on the lines of one developed by IIT Bombay in all districts of the state.

Seeking to clarify that the conference is not aimed at flying ‘Pushpak’ plane, Deshpande, the senior educationalist and a patron of the conference, said “Resurgence does not mean sticking to old prescriptions. It has to be a product of actualization (anubhuti). We have to ensure research is and would be suitable for the development of the country.”

Four parallel symposiums were held – Udyam, Sthapati, Manas and Naipunya. ‘Udyam’ was on Industry-Academia Collaboration, which saw nearly 30 CEOs and 30 vice-chancellors coming together to discuss and chalk a long term productive roadmap for Industry-Academia interface. R Gopalakrishnan, former director, Tata Sons, and Rajiv Modi, Chairman and Managing Director, Cadila Pharmaceuticals, were the panelists from Corporate side while S P Bansal, vice chancellor, Maharaja Agrasen University, and Yogesh Singh, vice chancellor, Delhi Technological University (DTU), were the panelists from academic side. Ajay Sancheti, Rajya Sabha member, inaugurated the symposium. Shalini Sharma from CII was the moderator for the session.

‘Sthapati’ was the session on Architecture and was organised by Bhartiya Shikshan Mandal in collaboration with Council of Architecture. The symposium saw some of the best architects from across the country coming together. These included Nimish Patel from Ahmedabad, Chitra Vishwanath from Bangalore and Anil Laul from Delhi amongst some of the prominent architects. Manas symposium was on Psychology. Anand Paranjape, who runs his own course in Indian psychology in Canada, was the main guest for the symposium, which also saw some of the most prominent psychologists come together for brainstorming.

Fourth symposium was Naipunya – Young Researcher’s workshop. This was aimed at sharpening the skills of young and budding researchers. Narendra Karamkar, who is a renowned mathematician and has worked with NASA for supercomputer design addressed the session. Unnat Pandit, who is OSD to Nirmala Sitharaman, the Union State Minister for Industries and Commerce (I/C), addressed the session. Pandit is an expert in IPR and is a major contributor in the new IPR policy design for the country.

Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, addressing the session on day two said, “Research is a rebellious process, as it always challenges the existing system or knowledge. It arises from inquisitiveness in students’ right from school. Even the best of the teacher just lectures on leaving no scope for answering the queries of the student.” Various technical sessions followed in four parallel sessions and select papers were presented as a part of these technical sessions in the post lunch session.

B N Jagtap, Head of Physics Department at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre addressed the main session on February 13. “In India, there is disconnect between science and society. It needs research that is inspired by the users, meaning it should be aimed at solving day-to-day problems of the society for better life. Neither pure basic research nor pure applied research can solve problems of the society,” he asserted.

This was followed by address by Madhavan Nair, former head of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). “Students in the country have immense potential, however, many educational institutions do not have enough means for research. That’s why the country lags on research and innovation,” said Madhavan Nair.

The keynote address by S Gurumurthy, noted right wing ideologue, saw overwhelming response from the audience. Gurumurthy said, “We do not have enough knowledge of our ancient Bhartiya Knowledge system, which has brought us disgrace.”

He told how ancient Bhartiya economical and industrial model are working successfully citing some examples of the same.

The concluding ceremony was addressed by Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways, and Niti Aayog member V K Saraswat. Gadkari said the rural and agriculture sector should be accorded top priority. “The approach to tap huge potential in the country for developing indigenous technology and transferring it to the person at the lowest rung of the social leader, would be the true resurgence,” he stated. Dr Saraswat stressed the need for carrying out research for application for the masses. “Innovation is the essence of any research and research should be driven towards welfare and development of the nation,” added Dr Saraswat.

A 15 point framework was laid down as the outcome of the conference. This was discussed with the participants in a ‘Mukt Charcha’ (open forum) and the framework was modified with relevant suggestions/inputs. It was also announced at the end of the Mukt Charcha to establish a ‘Research For Resurgence Foundation’ at Nagpur.

An interview of  Dr Manmohan Vaidya to Economic Times, February 28, 2016.

Opposition parties are increasingly targeting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which is the ideological mothership of the Sangh Parivar. Inside and outside Parliament, the Congress and the Left have squarely blamed the RSS for many of the controversies — including the suicide of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula and the standoff in the Jawaharlal Nehru University that have enveloped the Narendra Modi government. Dr Manmohan Vaidya, All India Prachar Pramukh of the RSS, defends his organisation and dismisses accusations against it as “frivolous and false”. Edited excerpts from an exclusive interview with Praveen S Thampi.

Dr Manmohan Vaidya, RSS

Ever since the BJP came to power in New Delhi, the RSS is being dragged into every controversy, from the JNU issue to a student’s suicide in the University of Hyderabad. Political leaders such as Rahul Gandhi and student leaders of JNU all accuse the RSS of having a hidden agenda that they say is being carried out by the ABVP and the Central government. How do you respond to these allegations?

The Congress, the Left parties and their leaders, even when they were in power, were consistently opposing and defaming the RSS over frivolous and false premise. Whenever they were in trouble they would blame the RSS now and then. But the people of Bharat began to see through their lies and stopped believing them. There is nothing new about it. All these allegations are unfounded and false.

When the ministry of human resource development instructed all Central university campuses to fly the national flag , the political stand adopted by its critics was to ask if the RSS flew the Tricolour in its office. What do you have to say to this?

To fly the national flag compulsorily in government-funded institutions is purely the government’s decision. Where does the RSS come into the picture? The national flag, by the way, has been hoisted on Independence Day and Republic Day at the RSS headquarters by its senior functionaries.

Does the RSS feel it is better to reach out to people directly through its new outreach programmes, like the IT Milans aimed at the new generation, than by replying to political allegations?

The people of Bharat are aware of the lie behind such political allegations. They know the RSS through the discipline and service of the swayamsevaks. As a result, people’s admiration, support and trust in the RSS is consistently growing. The RSS has been working to organise the entire society on the basis of a national character and discipline. Reaching out to all sections of society is a natural process of this mission. This has been going on since 1925. IT Milans began due to the emergence and specificities of the IT field. What has it got to do with political allegations?

You have clarified that the Sangh wants to bring change through social work and not through government. But ever since this government has come to power, critics have been accusing the RSS of implementing its ideological agenda through the ministries of HRD and culture. How would you like to respond to these critics?

In your question itself you have answered it all. When you describe them as critics of the RSS, they are bound to criticise the RSS even on false and baseless premise. The BJP is a party with an ideology that reflects in its manifesto that they had made public before the 2014 elections, saying what they will do if voted to power. Now that the people have voted them to power, they are implementing their manifesto. Let them fulfil the promises they made to the people.

The khaki shorts and white shirt ganavesh (uniform) has been the identity of the Sangh for a long time. Reports hint that a new uniform that is more contemporary is under consideration. Could you please elaborate on this?

Actually, selfless service and discipline is the identity of the Sangh swayamsevaks and they have been exhibiting it whether they are in uniform or not in uniform. And they will continue to exhibit the same (its core identity) even in the new uniform, if it gets changed.

Regarding the JNU issue, do you think there should be zero-tolerance towards anti-India sloganeering or should we bring such fringe groups into the national mainstream by reaching out to them proactively? How do you view the whole controversy and the government’s response to it?

Nothing anti-India should be tolerated. One should differentiate between anti-India and anti-government. There should be a process of dialogue, addressing the grievances and attempting to change the mind. But talking about this particular case/instance, it is not just sloganeering. It is the mindset that is consistently nurtured that leads to committing violence, or condoning violence, or supporting violence and anti-national activities.

What are the main topics that would come up at the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) in Nagaur in March?

The ABPS is our largest policy-making body that meets once annually, every March. This time, the ABPS will meet on March 11 -13 at Nagaur in Rajasthan. An annual report of the organisational activities and achievements will be presented by sar karyavah (general secretary). Participants will share some of their new experiments, experiences, initiatives and observations. Annual planning for the coming year will also be discussed. From mid-April to June-end, there will be annual summer training camps (around 70 camps) of 20 days’ duration throughout the country. Detailed discussions about the planning of these camps will be held there. Along with discussing the present national scenario, some resolutions will also be taken up for discussion at the ABPS

कुरुक्षेत्र (विसंकें). राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के सरसंघचालक डॉ. मोहन भागवत जी ने कहा कि प्रत्येक नागरिक को अपने आप में परिवर्तन लाना होगा. और इसके लिए पवित्र ग्रन्थ गीता के उपदेशों को आचरण में धारण करना होगा. पवित्र ग्रन्थ गीता के उपदेश पूरे विश्व के लिये आवश्यक हैं और आज समय की आवश्यकता भी है कि महान ग्रन्थ गीता के संदेश को हम जीवन में धारण करें.

सरसंघचालक डॉ. मोहन भागवत जी शुक्रवार को कुरुक्षेत्र में गीता ज्ञान संस्थानम का संतजनों की उपस्थिति में शिलान्यास करने के पश्चात मुख्य अतिथि के रूप में संबोधित कर रहे थे. कार्यक्रम के दौरान सरसंघचालक जी ने आदर्श गृहस्थ, वीर जवानों हार न मानो सहित दो अन्य पुस्तकों का विमोचन भी किया. संस्थानम का निर्माण कार्य तीन साल में पूर्ण होगा.

सरसंघचालक जी ने कहा कि भारत मां के पुत्रों में भाईचारा और सद्भावना बरकरार रहे, इसके लिए गीता के संदेशों को अपने आचरण में लाना जरूरी है. देश को आगे ले जाना है तो इसके लिये सभी के सांझे सहयोग की जरूरत है. अगर भारत को फिर से विश्व गुरू बनाना है तो आपसी मनमुटाव को भुलाकर अपने आप में परिवर्तन लाना होगा. गीता के 11वें अध्याय के 13वें श्लोक के एक – एक शब्द को अपने जीवन में धारणा है. इसके साथ ही गीता के 12वें अध्याय भक्ति को भी ग्रहण करना है. गीता का 11वां अध्याय ज्ञान का संदेश देता है, वहीं 12वां अध्याय भक्ति का संदेश देता है. उन्होंने कहा कि भक्ति को मन में धारण करने के लिये स्वयं में नारायण देखना है, सभी को अपना मित्र मानना है और द्वेष को समाप्त करना है. स्वतंत्र देश में एक-एक गुण पर चितंन कर अपने जीवन में धारण करना है. भक्ति से ही कर्म सुंदर होता है.

स्वामी ज्ञानान्द जी महाराज ने अतिथियों का स्वागत करते हुए संस्थान की जानकारी दी. उन्होंने बताया कि यह एक बड़ा शोध केंद्र बनेगा. इस अवसर पर देश भर से आए हुए संत और अन्य महानुभव मंच पर उपस्थित थे. गीता मनीषी स्वामी ज्ञानानंद महाराज ने कहा कि चरित्र, परंपरा का सम्मान, बच्चों को संस्कारवान व युवाओं को सही मार्ग  केवल गीता के उपदेशों से ही मिल सकता है. उन्होंने कहा कि गीता का ज्ञान घर-घर पहुंचे तथा पूरे विश्व को एक बार फिर से कुरूक्षेत्र की पावन धरा से गीता का संदेश मिले, इसके लिये ही गीता ज्ञान संस्थानम का निर्माण किया जा रहा है.

राज्यपाल प्रोफेसर कप्तान सिंह सोलंकी ने कहा कि महर्षि अरविंद जी ने भी दूरगामी सोच का परिचय देते हुए भविष्यवाणी की थी कि 21वीं शताब्दी में भारत विश्वगुरु बनने की तरफ अग्रसर होगा और उसका आधार गीता बनेगी. मुख्यमंत्री मनोहर लाल खट्टर ने कहा कि हरियाणा की पावन धरा कुरूक्षेत्र में गीता ज्ञान संस्थानम की स्थापना होने से हरियाणा का गौरव पूरे विश्व में बढ़ेगा.

कार्यक्रम में स्वामी गुरु शरणानंद महाराज, हिमाचल के राज्यपाल आचार्य देवव्रत, बाबा स्वामी रामदेव, स्वामी अवधेशानंद गिरी महाराज, रमेश ओझा, स्वामी वेदांतानंद महाराज, बाबा भूपेन्द्र सिंह, स्वामी परमात्मानंद, स्वामी सत्यानद आदि ने संबोधित किया.

भूल को पीछे छोड़ समाज बढ़े आगे

मंच से योग गुरू बाबा रामदेव जी की वाणी में हरियाणा में गत दिनों बिगड़े हालात पर पीड़ा झलक रही थी. उन्होंने कहा कि गौरव बनाने में समय लगता है, जबकि धूमिल क्षण भर में हो जाता है. हरियाणा ने देश और दुनिया को बहुत कुछ दिया है, परंतु जो भूल हुई है, हमें उससे आगे चलना होगा. उन्होंने बल देते हुए कहा कि इंसानियत की कीमत पर हमें कुछ नहीं चाहिये, हम जाति पंथ में बंधे हुए नहीं हैं. जाति मजहब का अवलंबन कमजोर लोग लेते हैं. योग्यता अर्जित कर स्थान बनाने पर समाज स्वयं सम्मान देता है. मैंने कभी जाति प्रांत का नाम नहीं लिया, बस योग साधना की है, जिससे लोगों ने मुझे प्यार से गले लगाया है. सामाजित भाईचारा बनाने के लिये संत शक्ति आगे आकर समाज का मार्गदर्शन करे. बाबा रामदेव जी ने हरियाणा की सेवा में अपना समय और पतंजलि उत्पादों से होने वाली आय का बड़ा हिस्सा हरियाणा के हालात ठीक करने में खर्च करने की घोषणा की.

मेरठ से आए नेत्रहिन बच्चों ने गीता श्लोक सुनाकर सबको मंत्रमुग्ध कर दिया. राजस्थान के भरतपुर से आई बेटी अमृत्या ने गीता के श्लोक सुनाए, जिसे पूरे 700 श्लोक कंठस्थ थे. कुरूक्षेत्र के राजकीय स्कूल की छात्राओं ने हरियाणवी लोकगीत गाकर बेटी बचाओ, बेटी पढ़ाओ का संदेश दिया. दीदी मां साध्वी ऋतंभरा ने बेटियों पर कविता सुनाकर सबकी आंखें नम कर दीं.

New Delhi, March 5, 2016 Hindu Help Line, the 24 X 7 Emergency Service initiative by VHP, on its 5th Anniversary, launched special ‘VRIDDH-MITRA’ Service for Senior Citizens.

‘VRIDDH-MITRA’ Service for Senior Citizens Launched by Hindu Help Line On 5th Anniversary

In the 5th Anniversary programme, Dr Pravin Togadia, the Founder of HHL (Hindu Help Line) said, “Hindu Help Line is an Emergency Service available at one call on 020-6689330 & 07588682181. Those in emergency can contact these numbers to get urgent help within 15-20 minutes depending on the type of emergency. HHL covers the emergencies like Medical, Travel, Legal, Administrative & Cultural; e.g. if you are traveling & your car breaks down, the HHL volunteers in that area will help you get your car in order or alternatively, make other arrangements; if there is a medical emergency, HHL will arrange medical help / blood etc. So far since HHL began over 2,00,000 calls have been received & with over 4000 HHL volunteers in most of the parts of Bharat, the emergency help rate has been over 98%.”

Dr Togadia launched ‘VRIDDH-MITRA’ Service for senior citizens. He said, ”Today, due to nuclear families & various social aspects, the elderly are facing genuine problems that are not only loneliness, but also practical problems like day care, medical reports collection, utility bill payments, caring company for a daily walk & so on. HHL aims at filling in this gap. As a beginning, the HHL Volunteers in the area will spend at least 1 hour every 15 days with the elderly, call them on a regular basis, say, every 2-3 days etc. Soon, other systems will be set to support emergency help to the senior citizens as much as possible. With their experience, senior citizens can surely contribute to the betterment of the nation & HHL will facilitate those who wish to make their experience available for social services.”
HHL has helped people in various situations. Rajasthan Sirohi, a poor girl needed urgent surgery for a whole in her heart. HHL volunteers coordinated with the concerned authorities to ensure her BPL card & got her operated. She is healthy now! A trader from Assam was conned in Bharatpur when he was on a trip to buy goods. With his call, HHL volunteers contacted local police, helped him do his purchases smoothly & he went back happy. A manufacturer from South went to Chandigarh to buy a machine after advance payment. The supplier dodged him for days. Frustrated, the manufacturer called HHL. HHL got his stay arranged & also found the supplier; the buyer went back with his machine. On a Bihar highway, a family at night had nightmares when their car broke down. HHL volunteers realized that the repairs would take time. They arranged for a safe stay for the family, got the car repaired over night & at morning, the happy family travelled to their destination. (Names of the callers are kept secret to respect their privacy)
In the HHL 5th Anniversary programme at Delhi, present on the dais were Dr Pravin Togadia – International Working President of VHP & HHL Founder, CA Shri Ranjeet ji Natu – HHL National President, Shri Vijay Reddy – Adviser & Founder Member of HHL, Shri Brahmasingh ji Tanvar-Ex MLA, Shri Anilji Gehlot, Shri Vrajmohan ji Sethi, Shri Dinesh ji Agarwal & Shri Deepak ji.

New Delhi: RSS Sarakaryavah Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi inaugurated Cornea Andhatv Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (CAMBA), a new initiative by RSS inspired NGO for Blinds, SAKSHAMA on Saturday  at New Delhi. The event was held as a part of commemoration of 110th Birth Anniversary of Guruji Golwaklar, who was the second Sarasanghachalak of RSS.

Union Minister Dr JP Nadda, Delhi Pranth Sanghachalak Kulbhushan Ahuja, other prominent functionaries attended the event.

नई दिल्ली. परम पूज्य श्री गुरूजी की जयंती के उपलक्ष्य में समदृष्टि क्षमता विकास एवं अनुसंधान मंडल (सक्षम) के तत्वाधान में राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के सरकार्यवाह सुरेश भय्या जी जोशी द्वारा “कॉर्नियल अन्धता मुक्त भारत अभियान” (CAMBA) का शुभारंभ न्यू स्पीकर हॉल, कॉन्स्टीट्यूशन क्लब, नई दिल्ली में किया गया. भय्या जी जोशी ने सक्षम के मानवीय अभियान CAMBA की शुरुआत करने के बाद कहा कि सक्षम ने बहुत बड़ा संकल्प लिया है. सक्षम ही संकल्प पूरा करने की क्षमता रखने वाला एक मात्र संगठन है. सक्षम नाम ही संकल्प पूरा करने वाला है. सक्षम अपने आप में ताकत है, जो सभी शक्तियों का समन्वय कर अपने साथ में लेकर चलता है. सक्षम अपने साथ सभी कार्यों को भी सुचारू रूप से लेकर चलता है. उन्होंने कहा कि साथ में और भी चलने वाले जुड़ें, सक्षम का यह प्रयास नित्य रहे. क्योंकि, इस प्रकार से सक्षम को आवश्यकता भी है. आगे याद करते हुए गर्व से ओत-प्रोत होकर भय्या जी ने कहा कि आज एक शुभ मुहूर्त भी है. राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के द्वितीय सरसंघचालक परम पूज्य श्री गुरुजी की आज हिन्दू पंचांग के अनुसार जन्म तिथि भी है.

उन्होंने कहा कि जब इस क्षेत्र में नागपुर में कार्य की शुरूआत हुई थी. तो सबसे पहला नेत्र बैंक जो बना था, उसका नाम माधव नेत्र बैंक था. कहते हैं न जब समाज सोच लेता है और जब वह सोच समाज का संकल्प बन जाता है. तो क्या होता है, मालूम है ? वह मानवीय सेवा बन जाता है. तो स्वाभाविक है कि वो मानवीय सेवा अच्छा ही होगा. मैं समझता हूं कि इस देश के अंदर अपार प्रकार की क्षमता विद्यमान है. बस, उसे हमें पहचानने और सही दिशा देने की आवश्यकता है. क्योंकि जब सही दिशा मिल जाएगी, तो मंजिल भी प्राप्त हो जाती है. एक बात ध्यान रहे, जब मन शक्ति बन जाए, तो उसे कोई ताकत आगे बढ़ने से नहीं रोक पाता है. सक्षम समाज में जिस प्रकार के विषय को लेकर आगे चल रहा है वो अपने आप में एक क्षमता है. क्या इससे भी बड़ी कोई मानवीय सेवा हो सकती है कि एक इन्सान को उसकी जिन्दगी में वो रोशनी दे देना, जिससे वो समस्त समाज को देख सके ?.

सरकार्यवाह जी ने कहा कि इस अभियान में न तो वैज्ञानिक निर्मित कृत्रिम वस्तुएं माध्यम हैं और न ही भौतिक साधन माध्यम है. यह एक अद्भुत मिसाल विश्व के सामने पेश होने वाली है कि जब मनुष्य ही इस अभियान (CAMBA) का माध्यम बनने वाला है. तो क्यों न इसे संकल्पित होकर और आगे बढ़ाया जाए. यह हम मनुष्य के हाथ में है कि हम मानव इस मानवीय अभियान को कितना सफल बना सकते हैं ? इस संकल्प का कोई आधार है तो वो इस देश का सामान्य व्यक्ति है. दान और डोनेशन में भी अंतर है. हमें डोनेशन नहीं, हम मनुष्य को अपने ही मानव समाज के लिए दान करना है, सेवा और समर्पण के भाव से. सेवा और समर्पण से सुसज्जित श्रेष्ठ परम्पराओं को जीने वाली धरती का सबसे प्यारा देश भारत है. दान का महत्त्व व्यक्ति की भावना से होता है. भावना श्रेष्ठ है तो वह दान भी श्रेष्ठ होता है.

अन्नदान का महत्त्व है. पर, अन्न दान का दायरा कितना है ? मैं इसे काट नहीं रहा हूं, मैं अन्न दान के महत्व की बात कर रहा हूं. अन्न दान एक समय की भूख मिटा सकता है, उसी प्रकार ज्ञान दान एक व्यक्ति को दिशा देने वाला दान होता है और अंग दान कई व्यक्तियों के जीवन में खुशियां भरने वाला होता है. कहते हैं न – “जीते-जीते रक्त दान और जाते-जाते अंग दान.” तो हमें अपने आप को जागरूक बनाना है. जब हम खुद जागरुक हो जाएंगे. तो समाज में भी जागरूकता ला देंगे. दान से एक आत्म भाव जागृत होता है कि मेरे पास भी कुछ है, जिसे हम समाज को कुछ दे सकते हैं.

नेत्र दान के क्षेत्र में जागृति अति-आवश्यक है. क्योंकि, यही एक मात्र मार्ग है अंधत्व से मुक्ति का. जिससे एक व्यक्ति को वो सुख, सौभाग्य और पुण्य मिलता है. जो उसे इस दुनिया की किसी भी सांसारिक, भौतिक एवं कृत्रिम वस्तु से प्राप्त नहीं हो सकता. इससे दान प्राप्त करने वाले व्यक्ति को भी सुख और सौभाग्य प्राप्ति होती है, जो उसके साथ आजीवन रहता है.

इस मौके पर उपस्थित विशिष्ट अतिथि स्वास्थ्य एवं परिवार कल्याण मंत्री डॉ. जगत प्रकाश नड्डा ने कहा कि सक्षम ने शुभ दिन पर शुभ कार्य “कॉर्नियल अन्धता मुक्त भारत अभियान” (CAMBA) की शुरूआत की है. उन्होंने कहा कि यह हम सब के लिए खुशी का विषय है कि NGO की तरह कार्य करते हुए सक्षम ने अंधत्व के क्षेत्र में अपना अभूत्वपूर्व नाम किया है. जब हम सक्षम की बात करते है तो पाते हैं कि इसने धरती से जुड़ा हुआ प्रयास किया है. जो सक्षम की इच्छा-शक्ति एवं दृढ़ता को दर्शाता है. यही सक्षम का बैकबोन भी है. उन्होंने मौजूदा सरकार और स्वास्थ्य एवं परिवार कल्याण मंत्रालय की पहल को बताया कि देश के सभी राज्यों के सभी जिलों में से उन 184 जिलों को उठाया है जो स्वास्थ्य की दृष्टिकोण से कमजोर थे. हमने उसे फंडिंग के साथ और स्पेशल 30% फंडिंग की सहायता दी है, ताकि उस जिले के भी सभी वासी स्वस्थ हो जाएं

Kannur, Kerala March 8, 2016: AV Biju, 29years, an activist of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS was pulled out of the autorickshaw he was driving in Kerala’s Kannur this morning by a group of men, who then attacked him with sharp weapons.

The attack was allegedely by CPI(M), said RSS Sources.

Huddled inside the autorickshaw and watching in fright were four children from class 1 and 2 who the RSS worker, AV Biju, drives every morning to school. Mr Biju was driving down the route that he usually takes, a short-cut between two main roads, when he was attacked.

Biju was rushed to the Kozhikode Medical College with multiple stab wounds and is now said to be in stable condition. The police have registered a case of attempt to murder against five supporters of the Left party, CPM.

The young schoolchildren in the autorickshaw were escorted home with the help of local people, the police said. They were frightened and wailing, said sources at their school.

Kannur, seen as a political stronghold of the CPM, has for years witnessed frequent violent clashes between workers of the Left party and that of the RSS, the BJP’s ideological mentor.
Last month, a BJP worker was hacked to death at his home and in front of his parents allegedly by a group of CPM supporters in the district. In December, 1999, KP Jayakrishnan Master, a BJP leader and school teacher was murdered in class while he was teaching students, allegedly by CPI-M workers.
In assembly elections to be held in Kerala in May, the CPM-led Left alliance LDF is making a bid to wrest power back from the Congress-led UDF.

While the BJP has been a minor political player in the state so far, it has invested in building up its cadres for this year’s election and hopes to make an impact.

Analysis on RSS Sarakaryavah Report:

The recent anti-national outbursts in country’s premier institutions, indiscriminate and mindless violence in the name of reservation in Gujarat and Haryana, repeated attacks on security forces and communal frenzy over petty incidents notwithstanding, the change in the political sphere has instilled a new confidence in the people of Bharat and Bharatiyas living abroad. Their expectations have increased with the atmosphere of confidence that was developed. Therefore, those in power are expected to accelerate the process that has paved the way for this new-found confidence and make it more pronounced.

In his annual report presented to the three-day Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the highest decision-making body of the RSS, Sarakaryawah Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi expressed serious concern over the issues related to temple entry for members of fair sex, attacks on security forces, growing communal frenzy and university campuses becoming hotbeds of anti-national activities in the recent past.

The annual meeting attended by elected representatives of RSS from all over the country besides the all India office-bearers of RSS Kendriya Karyakarini and RSS inspired organisations was formally inaugurated by RSS Sarsanghchalak Dr Mohanrao Bhagwat and Sarkaryawah Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi.

Giving vent to his concerns over the ‘use’ of universities for breeding anti-Bharat activities, the RSS Sarkaryawah in his report said that when the renowned and premier institutions and universities generate people raising slogans calling for breaking of and destroying the nation, it naturally becomes a matter of grave concern for all the patriotic people, and when they find certain political parties and leaders supporting such activities and elements, their concern becomes all the more serious.

The RSS leader posed: “How, in the name of freedom of expression, slogans calling for breaking up and destruction of nation, can be tolerated, and how those found guilty and punished as per the law of the land for indulging in terrorist acts be honoured and eulogised as ‘martyrs’? This is an anti-national act in itself and those involved in such acts don’t have faith in Bharat’s Constitution, Law, Judiciary and Parliament. More serious matter is that these subversive elements have made these universities their den for years and no action is initiated against them.

The RSS wanted the Central and state governments to deal with such anti-national and anti-social elements with firm hand to ensure the sanctity and cultural atmosphere in these universities and learning centres by not allowing them to become the hubs of political activities.

With the steadily growing acceptance of the nationalist discourse the anti-national and anti-social elements are feeling uneasy and this was evident from the recent incidents in Hyderabad and JNU that have squarely exposed their conspiracy, the report said.

The report also referred to the violent agitations in Gujarat and Haryana in the name of reservation and observed that these agitations are not only a challenge to the administration but also weaken the social harmony and erode trust.

Taking a very serious view of the attacks on security forces, Pathankot Airbase attack being the latest, the RSS report said that these frequent attacks have become a big challenge to our security arrangements. However, the RSS praised the security forces for repulsing these attacks with valiant fight. The RSS wanted the government to further tighten the security arrangements and make them foolproof to stop recurrence of such incidents. It also asked the government to review the infrastructure facilities to develop border areas, border security and materials from time to time.

Commenting on Pakistan’s India policy, the RSS report quipped: “It seems that Pakistan’s India policy is decided by the Military establishment and not by the elected government and the incidents from Mumbai to Pathankot testify this.”

The report also mentioned the growing incidents of communal frenzy over petty issues at different places. This has also become a matter of worry for the patriotic and peace-loving people besides a challenge to the law-enforcing authority. The report referred to such communal violence in Malda in West Bengal, Muzaffarnagar in UP and other places.

Incidents of destruction of public and private property, attacking the police forces, throwing the rule of law to the winds, looting and burning business establishments, especially those of the Hindus are very serious matters and need to be tackled by rising over petty political interests, the report said.

The RSS called upon political parties and their leaders to take such incidents seriously and cooperate to restore the law and order situation and peace. This is possible only when political parties and the ruling parties shed their petty and parochial political interests, and make a combined effort in the right direction. No political party or person is more important than the national security. It is the responsibility of an efficient and strong government to instil confidence in the people about their security, the report said.

The current hot issue related to entry of women in temples also finds mention in the RSS annual report. Holding some social elements ‘inimical to the wellbeing of the society’ for raising this ‘unsavoury controversy’, the RSS annual report observed that this issue could only be resolved through discussion and dialogue and not through agitations.

Accepting that both men and women were allowed entry into the temples in the past and that due to some ‘unfair traditions’ there was discrimination against the fair sex members, the RSS advocated taking recourse to changing the mindset through proper discussions.

Warning against politicizing such sensitive issues, the RSS advised the concerned parties to launch efforts to bring about changes in the mindset at every level through joint efforts of social and religious leadership and temple administration.

1300 delegates at ABPS from 40 organisations:

State level office bearers of RSS across the nation, National office bearers of RSS inspired (Sangh Parivar) organizations, Selected representatives elected from RSS-Shakhas of all regions of the country and few others are attending in all three days of the meeting.

Prominent leaders from Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS), working for the farmers;  Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram (VKA), a tribal welfare organization; Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) one of the biggest student organization of the country; Bharatiya Majdoor Sangh (BMS) a leading workers union; Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a forum of Sadhus, Sants and Pontiffs; BharatIya Janata Party (BJP), one of the most important political party of the nation; are attending the meeting.

Office bearers of Vidya Bharati, Vijnana Bharati, Kreeda Bharati, Sevabharati, Samskrita Bharati, Samskara Bharati, Laghu Udyoga Bharati as well as leaders from Rashtra Sevika Samithi, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, Deendayal Samshodhana Samsthe, Bharat Vikas Parishad, Akhil Bharatiya Shaikshik Mahasangh, Dharmajagarana, Vishwa Vibhag will be participating in the 3-day conclave.

Several organizations with special focus like – Sakshama, working for the blind; Seema Suraksha Parishat, which is committed to boost confidence among people of border districts, Poorva Sainika Parishat, working among retired soldiers will be represented in the meeting.

Activities of all these orgainizations will be submitted in the meeting.  State-wise activities of the RSS will be reviewed. Important national issues will be discussed and 3 resolutions on education, healthcare and social harmony will be passed in the meeting.

Nearly 1300 Social workers of different walks of life from nook and corners of the country will be participating in the meeting.

Nagaur Rajasthan March 12, 2016: RSS national meet Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha-2016 (ABPS) has passed its first major resolution on effective health care and easy access to affordable medical services to a common man.

Prof Aniruddh Deshpande, RSS Akhil Bharatiya Sampark Pramukh addressed Press Conference on RSS abps-day-2 March 12-2106

Resolution No. 1

Need for effective health care and easy access to affordable medical services

It is most essential to pursue healthy and hygienic life style and provide access to medical facilities to the common people, for ensuring healthy and disease free life for all the citizens. Today, when the diseases arising out of unhealthy life styles are growing fast, medical services are becoming out of access for common citizens due to forbidding cost. Consequently, innumerable families are either getting indebted or large number of families are even deprived of their means of subsistence for want of treatment of the earning members of the family. Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha expresses its deep concern over this state.

For the sound health,  it is most necessary to accord significance to healthy diet, way of -living and lifestyle along with virtuousness, spirituality, yog, daily exercise and cleanliness. Children should be vaccinated timely. It is also very significant that society becomes free from all kinds of intoxications.  Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha is of the opinion that all the conscious citizens, including the sawaymsevaks should endeavour to arouse wider public awareness in this direction.

On account of concentration of medical facilities in the large towns, there is shortage of medical facilities in the remote  and rural areas. Large number of people are deprived of medical facilities due to inadequate medical facilities and shortage of medical personnel, and the long queues for admission,  diagnosis and treatment. Rising cost of medical education is one of the major causes for the expensive medical services and deterioration in their quality and credibility. Quality medical services should be accessible to all citizens, including women and children in the country. For this, well functioning medical services of all kinds and systems need to be expanded across the country especially in rural and tribal areas. Information technology should be effectively used for the continuity in treatment and expert counsel.

Hospitals run by various social, religious and community organisations  with charitable and philathropic attitude at various places in the country, have been providing treatment to the common people in society very effectively and judiciously. Government support needs to be extended to such endeavours, worth emulation. Appreciating all such endeavours, the Pratinidhi Sabha calls upon the country’s industry groups, voluntary and social organisations and charitable trusts to further come forward in this direction. From this perspective, public and community partnerships and co-operative institutions  need to be promoted.

The schemes of free distribution of medicines started in some states in last few years and the proposal made for 3000 generic medicine centres by the central government in the recent budget are welcome moves. To bring medicines within the reach of common people, promotion of generic medicines, effective control of drug prices and making of the patents regime humane is necessary. To ensure the quality of medicines, they should be regularly tested in the laboratories. Standardisation and development of methods of testing of medicines of Ayurvedic, Unani and other systems is also important.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha calls upon all the countrymen, including swayamsevaks, voluntary organisations and the government to endeavour to make lives of all citizens disease free by awakening the society for healthy life style, child and mother’s healthcare, eradication of malnourishment and deaddiction against intoxication. For making all kinds of medical services accessible to common people, the central and state governments should bring requisite improvement in the infrastructure, policies and procedures, with the allocation of adequate resources. For this, coordinated expansion, regulation, teaching and research be promoted in all the systems of medicine, and the regulatory mechanism and statutory provisions be executed transparently.

Nagaur, Rajasthan March 12, 2016: On its Second day of National Meet Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), RSS passed second major resolution on affordable, accessible and quality education for all common citizens of Bharat.

Prof Aniruddh Deshpande, RSS Akhil Bharatiya Sampark Pramukh addressed Press Conference on RSS ABPS -Day-2 March 12-2106

Resolution No. 2

Accessible, affordable and quality education for all

Education is an essential means for the development of any nation and society for which; both the society and government are responsible for nourishing, promoting and patronizing it. Education is a tool for nurturing the seeds of attributes and potentialities of a pupil for development of his holistic personality. It is a primary responsibility of the government in a welfare state to ensure education and healthcare to every citizen along with food, clothing, shelter and work.

Bharat is a country with the highest number of youngsters. It is the responsibility of the government and society to make unhindered appropriate education available to its youth according to their aptitude, ability and quality for their participation in the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the nation. Today, all the parents want to impart good education to their wards. When there is appreciable rise in the number of pupils acquiring education, it has become difficult for them to get affordable quality education. Inadequate allocation on education and lack of priority to education in government policy during the preceding years has left open this field to the institutions with the motive of profit. Today, poor students are deprived of appropriate quality education. As a consequence, the growing economic disparity in the society is a serious concern for the whole nation.

In the contemporary education scenario, the governments must come forward towards its responsibility of allocating adequate resources and formulating appropriate policies. There is a need to curb the rising commercialization of the education sector so that the pupils are not compelled to acquire education at unaffordable costs.

The government should strengthen the autonomous self-regulatory mechanism for the education institutions in terms of their quality, infrastructure, services conditions, fees and standards so that its policies and are implemented in a transparent manner.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha is of the opinion that every child should get value based, nationalistic, employment-oriented and skill-based education in an atmosphere of equal opportunity. It is utmost essential to ensure proper training, appropriate salaries and strengthen the dutifulness of the teachers to enhance their standard; both in state run and private schools.

Traditionally our society has played a vital role in providing affordable quality education to the common man. In today’s context also, all the social, religious organizations, corporates, educationists and eminent people should come forward in this direction owning their responsibility.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha calls upon the Central and State Governments and local bodies to ensure availability of requisite resources and necessary statutory mechanisms for imparting affordable quality education to all. It also appeals to the society to come forward in this noble cause of imparting education especially in the rural, tribal and undeveloped areas so that a worthy, able and knowledge driven society is created which will play its important role in the development and upliftment of the nation.

प्रस्ताव क्र. 2: गुणवत्तापूर्ण एवं सस्ती शिक्षा सबको सुलभ हो

किसी भी राष्ट्र व समाज के सर्वांगीण विकास में शिक्षा एक अनिवार्य साधन है, जिसके संपोषण, संवर्द्धन व संरक्षण का दायित्व समाज व सरकार दोनों का है। शिक्षा छात्र के अन्दर बीजरूप में स्थित गुणों व संभावनाओं को उभारते हुए उसके व्यक्तित्व के समग्र विकास का साधन है। एक लोक कल्याणकारी राज्य में शासन का यह मूलभूत दायित्व है कि वह प्रत्येक नागरिक को रोटी, कपड़ा, मकान और रोजगार के साथ-साथ शिक्षा व चिकित्सा की उपलब्धता सुनिश्चित करे।

भारत सर्वाधिक युवाओं का देश है। इस युवा की अभिरूचि, योग्यता व क्षमता के अनुसार उसे उचित शिक्षा के निर्बाध अवसर उपलब्ध कराकर देश के वैज्ञानिक, तकनीकी, आर्थिक व सामाजिक विकास में सहभागी बनाना समाज एवं सरकार का दायित्व है। आज सभी अभिभावक अपने बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा दिलाना चाहते हैं। जहाँ शिक्षा प्राप्त करने वाले छात्रों की संख्या में उल्लेखनीय वृद्धि हुई है वहाँ उन सबके लिए सस्ती व गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा पाना दुर्लभ हो गया है। विगत वर्षों में सरकार द्वारा शिक्षा में अपर्याप्त आवंटन और नीतियों में शिक्षा को प्राथमिकता के अभाव के कारण लाभ के उद्देश्य से काम करने वाली संस्थाओं को खुला क्षेत्र मिल गया है। आज गरीब छात्र समुचित व गुणवत्ता पूर्ण शिक्षा से वंचित हो रहे हैं। परिणामस्वरूप समाज में बढ़ती आर्थिक विषमता समूचे राष्ट्र के लिए चिंता का विषय है।

वर्तमान शैक्षिक परिदृश्य में सरकार को पर्याप्त संसाधनों की उपलब्धता तथा उचित नीतियों के निर्धारण के अपने दायित्व के लिए आगे आना चाहिए। शिक्षा के बढ़ते व्यापारीकरण पर रोक लगनी चाहिए ताकि छात्रों को महंगी शिक्षा प्राप्त करने को बाध्य न होना पड़े।

सरकार द्वारा शिक्षा संस्थानों के स्तर, ढांचागत संरचना, सेवाशर्ते, शुल्क व मानदण्ड़ आदि निर्धारण करने की स्वायत्त एवं स्वनियमनकारी व्यवस्था को सुदृढ़ किया जाए ताकि नीतियों का पारदर्शितापूर्वक क्रियान्वयन हो सके।

अखिल भारतीय प्रतिनिधि सभा का यह मानना है कि प्रत्येक बालक-बालिका को मूल्यपरक, राष्ट्र भाव से युक्त, रोजगारोन्मुख तथा कौशल आधारित शिक्षा समान अवसर के परिवेष में प्राप्त होनी चाहिए। राजकीय व निजी विद्यालयों के शिक्षकों का स्तर सुधारने हेतु शिक्षकों को यथोचित प्रशिक्षण, समुचित वेतन तथा उनकी कर्त्तव्यपरायणता दृढ़ करना भी अति आवश्यक है।

परम्परा से अपने देश में सामान्य व्यक्ति को सस्ती व गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा उपलब्ध कराने में समाज ने महती भूमिका निभाई है। वर्तमान परिप्रेक्ष्य में भी सभी धार्मिक-सामाजिक संगठनों, उद्योग समूहों, शिक्षाविदों व प्रमुख व्यक्तियों को अपना दायित्व समझकर इस दिशा में आगे आना चाहिए।

अखिल भारतीय प्रतिनिधि सभा केन्द्र, राज्य सरकारों व स्थानीय निकायों से आग्रह करती है कि सस्ती व गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा सबको उपलब्ध कराने के लिए समुचित संसाधनों की व्यवस्था तथा उपयुक्त वैधानिक प्रावधान सुनिश्चित करें। अखिल भारतीय प्रतिनिधि सभा स्वयंसेवकों सहित समस्त देशवासियों का भी आवाहन करती है कि शिक्षा प्रदान करने के पावन कार्य हेतु विशेषकर ग्रामीण, जनजातीय एवं अविकसित क्षेत्र में वे आगे आवें ताकि एक योग्य, क्षमतावान व ज्ञानाधारित समाज का निर्माण हो सके जो इस राष्ट्र के उत्थान व विकास में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाएगा।

Nagaur, Rajasthan March 13, 2016: In a major morphological change within the organisation, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) today announced the change in Ganavesh (Uniform) from its traditional Khakhi Shorts to Wood Brown or also called ‘Coffee Coloured’ Trousers or Long Pants (Covering from the waist to the ankles).

Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi at ABPS Press Meet

The announcement was made by RSS Sarakaryavah Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi at the press conference at the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) at Nagaur, Rajasthan.

“Samaanya jeevan mein full-pants chalti hai to humne usko sweekar kiya. Hum samaaj ke saath chalne wale log hain. Trousers are more common in normal life. We are people who move with times. So we had no hesitation (change in dress code)” said Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi.

“Sangh ka pahchan nikkar ka nahi. As far as the physical training is concerned the design has been made with that point also in mind. ”  said Bhaiyyaji.

Reacting to the statement of Gulam Nabi Azad to compare RSS with the ISIS, RSS Sarakaryavah Bhaiyyaji said “It shows his Ajnan (Lack of common sense).”

“Reservation has helped the weaker sections of the society. If the affluent section of the society demands reservation, then it does not sound good. This refects a deviation from the thought of Dr BR Ambedkar and the Constitution.” added Bhaiyyaji.

RSS endorsed the entry of women for the entry of temples. RSS said, such sensitive issues should be resolved through discussion and dialogue and not through agitations.

So far, RSS Swayamsevaks had their Ganavesh as khaki shorts with grey belt and white full- sleeve shirts folded up to the elbow, with black caps on head, black lased shoes with khaki socks.

SARKARYAVAH announces the change in uniform. BROWN trousers replaces Khaki shorts.

प्रतिनिधि सभा ने किया समाज में समरसता का आव्हान

नागौर 13 मार्च । राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के सरकार्यवाह भैय्याजी उपाख्य सुरेश जोशी ने कहा कि समाज के अंदर भेदभावपूर्ण वातावरण चिंतनीय है। मीरा की धरती से अखिल भारतीय प्रतिनिधि सभा ने एक प्रस्ताव पारित कर समाज में समरसता लाने का आव्हान किया है। प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को दैनंदिन जीवन में व्यक्तिगत, पारिवारिक, तथा सामाजिक स्तर पर समरसता पूर्ण आचरण करना चाहिए।

भैय्याजी जोशी रविवार को पत्रकारों से चर्चा कर रहे थे। उन्होंने कहा कि भारत का तत्व ज्ञान जो मनीषियों ने दिया है, हिन्दू चिंतन के नाम से जाना जाता है वो श्रेष्ठ है। समाज जीवन में कुछ गलत पंरपराओं के कारण मनुष्य मनुष्य में भेद करना ठीक नहीं है। समाज के अंदर भेदभावपूर्ण वातावरण अपने ही बंधुओं के कारण आया है, जो उचित नहीं है।

पिछड़े समाज की वेदनाओं को समझकर सबके साथ समानता का व्यवहार हो, परिस्थितियों को आधार बनाकर किसी के साथ भेदभाव नहीं होना चाहिए। समाज में जाति भेद, अस्पृश्यता हटाकर शोषण मुक्त, एकात्म और समरस जीवन का निर्माण करना है। भेदभाव जैसी कुप्रथा का जड़ मूल से समाप्त होनी चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा व्यक्तिगत तथा सामूहिक आचरण में देशकाल परिस्थिति के अनुसार सुसंगत परिवर्तन होना चाहिए। इसके लिए समाज में कार्यरत धार्मिक एवं सामाजिक संस्थाओं को भी आगे आना होगा। प्रस्ताव में पूज्य संतो, प्रवचनकारों, विद्वजनों, तथा सामाजिक कार्यकर्ताओं को समाज प्रबोधन हेतु सक्रिय सहयोग देने का अनुरोध किया है।

संघ युगानुकूल चलने वाला संगठन- सरकार्यवाह

नागौर 13 मार्च । राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ के सरकार्यवाह भैय्याजी उपाख्य सुरेश जोशी ने कहा कि संघ जड़वादी नहीं अपितु काल के अनुसार चलने वाला संगठन है, इसलिए समय समय पर हम परिवर्तन करते आए हैं। संघ की पहचान केवल नेकर ही नहीं बल्कि दूसरे कारणों से भी है, पेंट भी आने वाले समय में संघ की पहचान बन जाएगा।

भैय्याजी जोशी रविवार को संवाददाता सम्मेलन में बोल रहे थे। पेंट का डिजायन ऐसा तैयार किया जाएगा, जिससे शारीरिक कार्यक्रमों में बाधा न आए। वैसे भी आज योग, क्रिकेट, कराटे समेत कई खेलों में ट्राउजर पहने जाते हैं। नई गणवेश लागू करने में चार से छह माह का समय लगेगा।

सरकार के कारण संघ कार्य नहीं बढ़ा है। पिछले एक साल में साढ़े 5500 शाखाएं बढ़ने के सवाल पर उन्होंने कहा कि यह सतत चलने वाली प्रक्रिया है। समाज के बीच में संघ की स्वीकार्यता बढ़ी है, देशभर में 58000 हजार गांवो तक संघ की पहुंच है। उन्होंने कहा कि करीब ढ़ाई लाख गांवो में संघ की विभिन्न जागरण पत्र- पत्रिकाएं जाती है। उन्होंने कहा कि पिछले वर्ष घर से दूर रहकर विस्तारक के रूप में संघ कार्य करने वाले 14500 कार्यकर्ता रहे।

संघ से आईएस तुलना करने के सवाल पर उन्होंने कहा कि ऐसा बयान देने वाले की जानकारी का स्तर देखकर पीड़ा होती है। उन्होंने अपने राजनीतिक अज्ञान को व्यक्त किया है।

आरक्षण –

हरियाणा और गुजरात में आरक्षण की मांग को लेकर हुए हिंसक आंदोलन पर उन्होंने कहा कि वास्तव में यह हम सबके लिए सोचने का विषय है। डॉ. बाबा साहब अम्बेडकर ने संविधान में आरक्षण का प्रावधान किया था यह न्योचित था। इससे देश के वंचित वर्ग का बड़ा तबका लाभान्वित हुआ। दलितों में शिक्षा का स्तर बढ़ा। सम्पन्न वर्ग द्वारा आरक्षण की मांग करना उचित दिशा में सोच नहीं है, जो सम्पन्न उन्हें समाज के दुर्बल वर्ग के लिए अधिकार छोड़ने चाहिए।

क्रिमीलेयर को आरक्षण का लाभ पर उन्होंने कहा कि इस पर शास्त्र शुद्ध अध्ययन और सामाजिक स्तर पर विचार विमर्श की आवश्यकता है। किन व्यक्तियों और किन जातियों को अभी तक इसका लाभ मिला नहीं मिला है और वे पिछड़े हुए हैं, इसका अध्ययन होना चाहिए।

श्रीश्री रविशंकर के कार्यक्रम में बाधाएं क्यों-

श्रीश्री रविशंकर के कार्यक्रम पर उन्होंने कहा कि इसके कई पहलु हो सकते है। हो सकता है पर्यावरण को लेकर कुछ कमियां रही होगी। सरकार ने उन्हें सचेत किया और करना भी चाहिए। ऐसे विशाल और गरिमामय कार्यक्रम के लिए कोई मार्ग निकालना चाहिए। लेकिन कानून बताकार दंडित करते रहेंगे तो समाज जीवन में परिवर्तन लाने वाली संस्थाएं दुर्बल होगी। पर्यावरण नियमों का पालना सभी संस्थाओं करने की आवश्यकता है।

जेएनयू मामले में

उन्होंने कहा कि देशभक्त नागरिकों के लिए यह चिंता का विषय है। देशद्रोहियों के प्रति श्रद्धा प्रकट करने वाली मानसिकता को हम क्या मानें। कानून अपना काम करेगा। भले ही ये लोग कानून के दायरे से बाहर आ जाए, लेकिन परिसर में ऐसे वातावरण का पोषण किसने किया, इस पर प्रबुद्ध वर्ग को सोचना चाहिए। इस विषय पर राजनीति नहीं होनी चाहिए। सत्ता में चाहे जो भी बैठे सबसे पहले देश हित, राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा और अखंडता का विचार करना ही सर्वश्रेष्ठ है। इस मामले में जागरूक नागरिकों द्वारा इस घटना पर दी गई प्रतिक्रिया का उन्होंने स्वागत किया।

महिला मंदिर प्रवेश

भारत में हजारों मंदिरों में महिलाओं के प्रवेश पर कोई रोक नहीं रही है। हमारें यहां महिलाएं वेदाध्यन और पौरोहित्य कार्य कर रही है, सन्यासी और प्रवचनकार है। कुछ स्थानों पर प्रवेश को लेकर विवाद हुए, वहां के प्रबंधन ने किसी कारण से ऐसा किया होगा। अनुचित प्रथा को संवाद, समझदारी व आपसी विचार विमर्श से दूर किया जाना चाहिए। ऐसे संवेदनशील मुद्दों पर राजनीति से प्रेरित आंदोलन चलाना अनुचित है।

मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्रालय द्वारा विश्वविद्यालयों को बजट स्वयं सृजित करने के सवाल पर उन्होंने कहा कि यह तकनीकी विषय है। हमारा यह मानना है कि आर्थिक दुर्बलता के कारण कोई शिक्षा से वंचित नहीं रहे, इसके लिए समाज और सरकार को भी आगे आना चाहिए।

Resolution No. 1

Need for effective health care and easy access to affordable medical services

It is most essential to pursue healthy and hygienic life style and provide access to medical facilities to the common people, for ensuring healthy and disease free life for all the citizens. Today, when the diseases arising out of unhealthy life styles are growing fast, medical services are becoming out of access for common citizens due to forbidding cost. Consequently, innumerable families are either getting indebted or large number of families are even deprived of their means of subsistence for want of treatment of the earning members of the family. Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha expresses its deep concern over this state.

For the sound health,  it is most necessary to accord significance to healthy diet, way of -living and lifestyle along with virtuousness, spirituality, yog, daily exercise and cleanliness. Children should be vaccinated timely. It is also very significant that society becomes free from all kinds of intoxications.  Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha is of the opinion that all the conscious citizens, including the sawaymsevaks should endeavour to arouse wider public awareness in this direction.

On account of concentration of medical facilities in the large towns, there is shortage of medical facilities in the remote and rural areas. Large number of people is deprived of medical facilities due to inadequate medical facilities and shortage of medical personnel, and the long queues for admission, diagnosis and treatment. Rising cost of medical education is one of the major causes for the expensive medical services and deterioration in their quality and credibility. Quality medical services should be accessible to all citizens, including women and children in the country. For this, well functioning medical services of all kinds and systems need to be expanded across the country especially in rural and tribal areas. Information technology should be effectively used for the continuity in treatment and expert counsel.

Hospitals run by various social, religious and community organizations  with charitable and philathropic attitude at various places in the country, have been providing treatment to the common people in society very effectively and judiciously. Government support needs to be extended to such endeavours, worth emulation. Appreciating all such endeavors, the Pratinidhi Sabha calls upon the country’s industry groups, voluntary and social organizations and charitable trusts to further come forward in this direction. From this perspective, public and community partnerships and co-operative institutions  need to be promoted.

The schemes of free distribution of medicines started in some states in last few years and the proposal made for 3000 generic medicine centres by the central government in the recent budget are welcome moves. To bring medicines within the reach of common people, promotion of generic medicines, effective control of drug prices and making of the patents regime humane is necessary. To ensure the quality of medicines, they should be regularly tested in the laboratories. Standardisation and development of methods of testing of medicines of Ayurvedic, Unani and other systems is also important.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha calls upon all the countrymen, including swayamsevaks, voluntary organisations and the government to endeavour to make lives of all citizens disease free by awakening the society for healthy life style, child and mother’s healthcare, eradication of malnourishment and deaddiction against intoxication. For making all kinds of medical services accessible to common people, the central and state governments should bring requisite improvement in the infrastructure, policies and procedures, with the allocation of adequate resources. For this, coordinated expansion, regulation, teaching and research be promoted in all the systems of medicine, and the regulatory mechanism and statutory provisions be executed transparently.

Resolution No. 2. Accessible, affordable and quality education for all

Education is an essential means for the development of any nation and society for which; both the society and government are responsible for nourishing, promoting and patronizing it. Education is a tool for nurturing the seeds of attributes and potentialities of a pupil for development of his holistic personality. It is a primary responsibility of the government in a welfare state to ensure education and healthcare to every citizen along with food, clothing, shelter and work.

Bharat is a country with the highest number of youngsters. It is the responsibility of the government and society to make unhindered appropriate education available to its youth according to their aptitude, ability and quality for their participation in the scientific, technological, economic and social development of the nation. Today, all the parents want to impart good education to their wards. When there is appreciable rise in the number of pupils acquiring education, it has become difficult for them to get affordable quality education. Inadequate allocation on education and lack of priority to education in government policy during the preceding years has left open this field to the institutions with the motive of profit. Today, poor students are deprived of appropriate quality education. As a consequence, the growing economic disparity in the society is a serious concern for the whole nation.

In the contemporary education scenario, the governments must come forward towards its responsibility of allocating adequate resources and formulating appropriate policies. There is a need to curb the rising commercialization of the education sector so that the pupils are not compelled to acquire education at unaffordable costs.

The government should strengthen the autonomous self-regulatory mechanism for the education institutions in terms of their quality, infrastructure, services conditions, fees and standards so that its policies and are implemented in a transparent manner.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha is of the opinion that every child should get value based, nationalistic, employment-oriented and skill-based education in an atmosphere of equal opportunity. It is utmost essential to ensure proper training, appropriate salaries and strengthen the dutifulness of the teachers to enhance their standard; both in state run and private schools.

Traditionally our society has played a vital role in providing affordable quality education to the common man. In today’s context also, all the social, religious organizations, corporates, educationists and eminent people should come forward in this direction owning their responsibility.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha calls upon the Central and State Governments and local bodies to ensure availability of requisite resources and necessary statutory mechanisms for imparting affordable quality education to all. It also appeals to the society to come forward in this noble cause of imparting education especially in the rural, tribal and undeveloped areas so that a worthy, able and knowledge driven society is created which will play its important role in the development and upliftment of the nation.

Resolution No. 3

Practice Samarasata in day to day life

Bharat is an ancient nation and it has a hoary tradition of thought process. It is our realization and conviction that both the animate and inanimate world are born out of a single element and the same element resides in all the living beings. All the human beings are equal as the same divinity uniformly pervades every being. Rishis, Munis, Saints, Gurus and social reformers have strengthened this truth by their experiences and conduct.

Whenever our social structures and day to day conduct remained commensurate with these pre-eminent ideals then Bharat has been an integral, prosperous and invincible nation. When there was an erosion in practicing this noble philosophy of life, the society degenerated, a feeling of caste based disparity increased and an inhuman evil like untouchabilty was born.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha is of the opinion that each individual should conduct oneself with samarasata ( social harmony )  in day to day personal, family and societal life on the basis of our eternal and timeless life ideals. It is this conduct that will eradicate caste discrimination, untouchability and mutual distrust from the society and all of us will experience an integral and samaras life free of exploitation.

Nation draws its strength from the society and strength of the society lies in the integrity, spirit and conduct of harmony and fraternity.  Our eternal ideals have the ability to create this. One should have conduct based on affinity, dignity and equality for all others as described in ‘Atmavat Sarvabhooteshu’  (all other beings treated as oneself), ‘Adweshta Sarva Bhootanam’  (malice towards none) and ‘Ek Noor te sab jag upja, Kaun bhaley, kau mandey’ ( From that one light the whole world was born, so how one is superior and other inferior). Any kind of discriminatory behavior and evil like untouchaility should be uprooted altogether. For the smooth functioning of the society, it is utmost essential that all the social and religious institutions in the society need to steer the course based on our hoary ideals of life.

Since time immemorial several great personalities and social reformers of our society have  presented an integral view point of the ideal social life to the nation, emphasizing on the changes in the individual and community conduct consistent with time, place and circumstances for the creation of the society based on equality and free of exploitation. Their lives, ideals and actions are forever a source of inspiration to the society.

The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha humbly appeals to all the revered Saints, preachers, intellectuals and social activists to actively contribute to the enlightenment of the society in this context. The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha exhorts all the citizens alongwith swayamsevaks to maintain a conduct with samarasata and appeals to all the social and religious organizations to make every possible effort to strengthen this feeling of samarasata.

RSS on Four National Scenarios:

1. Women and Temple entry: –In the last few days, some social elements inimical to the wellbeing of the society have raised an unsavoury controversy over women’s entry to temple. From the hoary past, we have been following a lofty tradition in which, in the religious and spiritual spheres, in matters of worship and piety, both men and women are naturally considered to be equal partners. Generally, both men and women are naturally permitted entry into the temples without any discrimination. Women also have been learning the Vedas and officiating as priests in temples in the natural course.
   However, because of some unfair traditions, at certain places there has been a lack of consensus on the question of temple entry. Wherever such problems exist, attempts should be made to bring about a change of mind through proper discussions. It has to be borne in mind that such sensitive issues should not be politicised, and should be resolved only through discussion and dialogue, and not through agitations.
   From the point of view of social well-being, through the joint efforts of social and religious leadership, and the temple administration, attempt should be made to bring about a change in mentality at every level.

2) Security Agencies are target of anti national forces:- Repeated attacks being made targeting the Security Agencies in the last few decades, has become a big challenge to our security arrangements. Our security forces have been successful in repulsing all such attempts made by our enemies, through their valiant fight. The latest example of such attacks is the one made against our Pathankot Air Force Base recently.
It is necessary to further tighten the security arrangements and make them foolproof so as to ensure that such incidents are not repeated anymore. Reviewing the efficiency of the Security Forces, the materials at their disposal, as also the officers in charge, necessary changes should be made.
To curb activities such as Illegal migration, smuggling, Pak-inspired terrorism, such activities should be strictly observed for taking remedial action. With this view, it is necessary to review the infrastructural facilities to develop border areas, border security, and the materials, from time to time.
It seems that Pakistan’s India policy is decided by the Military Establishment and not by the elected government. The incidents from Mumbai to Pathankot testify this. Presently, the whole world is concerned about the growing menace of terrorism.
3) Growing Communal frenzy in the country :- Incidents of violence and terrorist attacks at different places in the country have become a matter of grave concern for the patriotic and peace-loving people, and the law and order machinery. Under the pretext of small and big issues, people at different places, armed with weapons taking to the roads in large numbers and creating an atmosphere of fear and tension, as happened in Malda, has become endemic now a days.
Incidences of destruction of public and private property, attacking the police force throwing the rule of law to the winds, looting and burning of business establishments, especially those run by Hindus, had taken place. Political parties, giving up their policy of appeasement, should take such incidents seriously and cooperate to restore the law and order situation and peace. This will be possible only when political parties and the ruling parties shed their petty and parochial political interests, and make a combined effort in the right direction. No political party or person is more important than the national security. It is the responsibility of an efficient and strong government to instill confidence in the people about their security.
(4) University Campuses become hotbed of antinational activities: – In the last few months, reports about antinational and subversive activities in certain universities, has become a matter of concern. When renowned and premier universities, which are expected to groom patriotic citizens by imparting them the lessons of unity and integrity generate people who raise the slogan calling for breaking of and destroying the nation, this naturally becomes a matter of concern for the patriotic people. When they find certain political parties supporting such antinational elements, their concern grows further.
In the name of freedom of expression, how the slogans calling for the breaking up of and destruction of the nation, can be tolerated, and how the guilty, who had hatched the conspiracy to blow up the national Parliament, can be honoured as martyrs? Doing so it, itself will be treated as an antinational act. Those who do such things have no faith in our Constitution, judiciary, Parliament, etc. These subversive elements have made these universities the centres of their activities for long.
It is very delightful that the moment the reports about these incidents became public, there was all round condemnation from everywhere. We expect from the Central and State governments to deal strictly with such antinational and antisocial forces and ensure the sanctity and cultural atmosphere by not allowing our educational institutions to become centers of political activities.
Such incidents that pollute the social environment are sure to affect the social life.
The change that took place in the political sphere last year, has made people in Bharat and the Bharatiyas living abroad happy and proud. This mood has been discernible in programmes conducted by people of Indian origin in other world countries.
At the global level, the celebration of the “Yoga Day” by a majority of world nations is an indication of the acceptance of Bharatiya spiritual thought and way of life by the world at large.
The expectations of our people have naturally increased and an atmosphere of confidence has developed. Therefore we expect those who are in power to accelerate the process that has paved the way for this new-found confidence and make it more pronounced.
The acceptance the nationalist discourse has been gaining steadily and the resultant unease among the antinational and antisocial forces has come to light through certain recent incidents. The antinational activities at the Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad) University and the J.N.U. have thoroughly exposed their conspiracy.
Violent agitations in Gujarat and Haryana for the demand of reservation are not only a challenge.

RSS announced change in Ganavesh:

In a major morphological change within the organization, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) today announced the change in Ganavesh (Uniform) from its traditional Khakhi Shorts to Wood Brown or also called ‘Coffee Coloured’ Trousers or Long Pants (Covering from the waist to the ankles). The announcement was made by RSS Sarakaryavah Suresh Bhaiyyaji Joshi at the press conference at the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) at Nagaur, Rajasthan.

RS on reservation demand by affluent class:

“Reservation has helped the weaker sections of the society. If the affluent section of the society demands reservation, then it does not sound good. This reflects a deviation from the thought of Dr BR Ambedkar and the Constitution”, stated RSS.
