3-day ABPS conclave begins in Nagpur; chalk plan for RSS centenary year

“At the ABPS, the top leadership along with its delegates holds discussions on important issues confronting the nation in context with the RSS agenda along with a long-term roadmap to realise the objectives,” said an RSS functionary.

With the RSS observing its centenary year in 2025, the emphasis at the conclave will be on organisation, its work, and course correction, he added, while indicating that the apex body will also discuss the farmers’ unrest in Punjab and Haryana.

The ABPS conclave will discuss the implementation of the new Sangh Shiksha Varg plan to impart training for its volunteers, apart from reviewing the year-long work carried out by RSS workers under the RSS chief, Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Sunil Ambekar told reporters. Along with strengthening the work expansion, he said there would be a discussion on the initiatives for the centenary year.

Celebrations for the RSS centenary year 2025 are being planned on a mammoth scale and all the wings affiliated to the RSS are being roped in for planning and implementation. The conclave will see the participation of 1,500 representatives from 45 zones across the country.

As per sources, the RSS wants to maximise its public outreach with the centenary celebrations. “The life and works of right wing ideologues such as RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar and second RSS chief M S Golwalkar will be widely published. In the late 1980s, it was at the ABPS that the RSS had pledged its support for Ram temple at Ayodhya,” a functionary said.
