Mumbai, March 28 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters located in Nagpur's Reshimbagh area this Sunday. During his visit, he will pay homage to the organization's founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar and the second Sarsanghchalak MS Golwalkar at the Smruti Mandir.
This marks his first trip to the RSS headquarters since he took office as Prime Minister in 2014.
His visit is timed with the Sangh's 'Pratipada programme', which celebrates the onset of the Hindu New Year.
Additionally, this will be the first time a sitting Prime Minister has visited the RSS headquarters.
PM Modi's trip comes just days after the conclusion of the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the highest decision-making body within the Sangh.
Previously, he visited Reshimbagh on September 16, 2012, to pay his respects to former RSS leader K Sudarshan.
Moreover, he will also make a visit to Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur to honor B. R. Ambedkar, who converted to Buddhism there in 1956 alongside thousands of followers.
During this visit, PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Madhav Netralaya Premium Centre, an extension of the Madhav Netralaya Eye Institute and Research Centre in Nagpur, established in 2014 as a leading super-specialty ophthalmic care facility in memory of Guruji Madhavrao Sadashivrao Golwalkar.
The new project is set to include a 250-bedded hospital, 14 outpatient departments (OPDs), and 14 modular operation theatres aimed at providing top-notch and affordable eye care services.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will visit the Solar Defence and Aerospace Limited ammunition facility in Nagpur.
He is scheduled to inaugurate a newly constructed 1,250-meter long and 25-meter wide airstrip designated for Unarmed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), along with a live munition and warhead testing facility to evaluate loitering munitions and other guided armaments.
