Itanagar, Feb 27 (NationPress) Following a week-long tour in Assam, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived here on Thursday for a four-day visit to Arunachal Pradesh.
According to sources, as part of his nationwide journey linked to the 100th anniversary of the RSS, Bhagwat is making stops in the northeastern states.
The RSS leader reached the capital of Arunachal Pradesh as part of the ‘Prabas’ initiative, launched in celebration of the centenary year (1925 -2025).
“While in Arunachal, Bhagwat plans to hold discussions with RSS Karyakartas and other selected individuals, interact with indigenous faith leaders, and participate in various organizational events,” sources noted, adding that upon his arrival in Itanagar, the RSS chief met with approximately 130 indigenous faith leaders from diverse tribes across the state.
The RSS head is set to participate in the 'Prant Karyakarta Shivir' (state-level functionaries' camp) commencing on Friday at Abotani Vidya Niketan in Pachin village of Naharlagun, near Itanagar.
Hundreds of RSS members and officials from various regions of the hilly state are expected to join the camp.
Bhagwat is also anticipated to meet dignitaries and senior officials from ideologically aligned organizations.
During his stay in Guwahati, Bhagwat participated in multiple events and engaged with RSS officials. He addressed an intellectual program for RSS Karyakartas based in Guwahati, highlighting ‘Panch Parivartan’ as essential for social transformation.
He articulated that five critical transformations—social harmony, family values, environmental protection, Swadeshi practices, and civic duties—are vital for societal progress.
Urging everyone to minimize the usage of foreign languages in daily interactions and promote their native tongues, Bhagwat remarked: “Concerning our civic duties, we must comply with all state regulations, while also embracing traditional social moral norms for societal betterment, which may not be outlined in any civic rulebook.”
