RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat inaugurated the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha.

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday inaugurated the annual three-day Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) in Nagpur’s Reshim Baug where leaders are set to frame the roadmap for the outfit for its centenary year of 2025.
The ABPS is the highest decision-making body of the RSS where the outfit annually deliberates on crucial issues, deliberates on work done in the previous fiscal and frames future plans.
The conclave assumes significance in the wake of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections scheduled in April-May where RSS is set to play a prominent role to facilitate BJP achieve its ambitious target of 370 seats and 400 plus seats for NDA.
“At the ABPS, the top leadership along with its delegates hold discussions on important subjects confronting the nation in context with RSS agenda along with a long-term road map to realise the same ahead,” said an RSS functionary.
At a time when the RSS is observing its centenary year in 2025, the emphasis at the conclave will be on organisation, its work, and course correction, he mentioned, indicating that the apex body will also discuss the farmers’ unrest in Punjab, 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 stressed there would be a discussion on the initiatives for the centenary year.
“There will also be a discussion on the current situation of the country and resolutions will also be passed on important issues,” Ambekar said.
The RSS centenary year 2025 is being planned on mammoth scale and all the wings affiliated to RSS are being roped for the planning and implementation of the event.
According to sources, the RSS wants to maximise its public outreach through 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 ABPS the RSS had pledged its support for Ram temple at Ayodhya,” they said.
The Pratinidhi Sabha will see the participation of 1,500 representatives from 45 zones across the country.
