Nagpur : Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) Karyakarta Vikas Varg-Dwitiya has been inaugurated on Monday at the Maharshi Vyas Sabhagruha, located in the Dr. Hedgewar Smruti Bhavan premises in Reshimbag, Nagpur.

Sah-Sarkaryavah and Varg Palak Adhikari Atul Ji Limaye; Sah-Sarkaryavah Ramdatt Ji; and the Jaipur PrantSanghchalak as well as Varg Sarvadhikari Mahendra Singh Maggo Ji were present during inauguration. They formally inaugurated the varg by offering floral tributes to the statue of Bharat Mata. This year 880 swayamsevak from across the country have participated in the varg.  This varg provides training focused on social awareness and social transformation.

Addressing the swayamsevak’s on this occasion, Sah-Sarkaryavah Atul Limaye Ji stated that it is our great fortune to have been born in Bharat, to have become swayamsevakthrough our association with the Sangh, and to be participating in the Karyakarta Vikas Varg-Dwitiya during the Sangh’s centenary year. Throughout the Sangh’s century-long journey, it has faced ridicule, neglect, and opposition. It was even banned on three separate occasions. This journey was made possible solely through the dedication, struggle, and timely sacrifices of the volunteers. It was the extraordinary conduct of seemingly ordinary volunteers that built the Sangh into what it is today. He further noted that the Sangh’s process of Vyakti Nirman is decentralized.

A crucial component of this Vyakti Nirman process is the Sangh’s daily ‘Shakha’. Similarly, the Sangh Shiksha Varg’s also serves the purpose of character building. The Sangh Shiksha Varg was first initiated in 1927. Over time, the methodology and format of these vargs have evolved. However, the conviction that Bharat is a Hindu Rashtra; the objective of organizing the entire society to achieve its ultimate glory (Param Vaibhav); and the process of character building as the means to achieve social unity, these three fundamental principles have remained unchanged. Given that this varg is being hosted in Nagpur – the birthplace of the RSS – it holds exceptional significance. Along with physical readiness, mental preparedness is equally essential; this vargis designed to facilitate precisely that process. We have been granted the privilege of witnessing this phase of the Amrit Kaal. We must make the fullest possible use of this period. The varg offers a unique and distinct experience, combining physical training with intellectual development. It brings together people from various prant to live and learn together. “We are all one” – this realization of oneness is attained in the Varg.

The realization of this oneness that “we are all one” will be attained during this varg. Gautam Buddha once said, “I show the path to liberation (Moksha), but only those who follow that very path and persevere in their journey actually reach the destination.” This varg is designed to prepare swayamsevak’s, equipping them to steadfastly walk upon their chosen path.

This varg will continue for the next 25 days and is scheduled to conclude on June 4th.

New Delhi : Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) Delhi organised a special commemorative programme titled ‘Priya Kelkar Ji’ on the occasion of the birth centenary year of ABVP’s organisational architect and former National President Prof. Yashwantrao Kelkar Ji at Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Civic Centre. The programme was attended by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale Ji as the Chief Guest.

Senior RSS Pracharaks, Vice Chancellors, Registrars and Professors from various universities, the Speaker of Delhi Legislative Assembly, Ministers of the Delhi Government, Karyakartas of other Sangh-affiliated organisations and a large number of students were also present in the programme.

A nationalist thinker, organisational architect and a profound source of inspiration for student movement rooted in national consciousness, Prof. Yashwantrao Kelkar Ji was born on 25 April 1925 in Pandharpur (Solapur), Maharashtra. Considering national service as the mission of his life since his student days, Kelkar Ji became a Pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in 1945. In 1955, he began teaching as a Professor of English at National College and, following the directions of the Sangh, started working for Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad. Through his distinctive style of functioning, ABVP received ideological clarity, organisational vision and a unique methodology of cadre-building, which gave ABVP a strong pan India presence. He played a pioneering role in establishing student power as a force for nation-building.

During the programme, the performance troupe led by Milind Bhadge from Pune presented ‘Priya Kelkar Ji’ in a impactful manner, portraying the life, thoughts and organisational methodology of Prof. Kelkar Ji. The presentation highlighted ABVP’s style of functioning, planning in detail and planning in advance, time management, discipline, collective functioning and the vibrant cadre-building methodology which Prof. Kelkar Ji embodied through his life.

Addressing the gathering, RSS Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale Ji said, “Balasaheb Deoras Ji used to say that Yashwantrao Kelkar Ji was a true inheritor of Dr. Hedgewar’s legacy. Prof. Kelkar Ji provided the organisational principles on which ABVP’s strong foundation was built. He ensured that ABVP was not limited merely to agitations, but was guided towards constructive work, representation and nation-building. Through teamwork, punctuality, simplicity, optimum utilisation of resources and an affectionate organisational methodology, Prof. Kelkar Ji presented an ideal model of organisational life. He was a personality who carried everyone together without any jealousy or bitterness. His life remains an eternal source of inspiration for workers.”

Highlighting ABVP’s organisational methodology and vision for life, he further said, “While working with Prof. Yashwantrao Kelkar Ji, I received a vision for life in ABVP, which further nurtured and enriched in the Sangh.”

ABVP National President Prof. Raghuraj Kishore Tiwari Ji said, “The life-journey of Prof. Yashwantrao Kelkar Ji is an ideal for every karyakarta. The methodology of functioning that ABVP follows across the nation today has been bestowed by Prof. Kelkar Ji. His life teaches us that there should be no difference between words and actions in the life of a karyakarta.”

Former ABVP National President Prof. Rajkumar Bhatia Ji said, “If we wish to understand the personality of Prof. Kelkar Ji and ABVP’s methodology of functioning, it is essential to seriously study the literature based on his life and thoughts. Prof. Kelkar Ji considered ABVP as a workshop for personality development.”
