Arunachal: RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat in state for four-day tour

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived in Arunachal Pradesh on February 27 for a four-day visit.

He is scheduled to hold meetings with RSS functionaries, interact with indigenous faith leaders and participate in key organisational programmes, RSS sources said.

His visit to the easternmost state of the country from February 27 to March 2 is part of his ongoing nationwide tour ahead of the RSS's 100th anniversary, they said.

A key event during his stay is the ‘prant karyakarta shivir (state-level functionaries’ camp)’, scheduled from 28 February to 2 March at Abotani Vidya Niketan in Pachin village, Naharlagun. Around 900 RSS functionaries from different parts of the state are expected to participate in it, RSS sources said.

On Friday, he will address swayamsevaks at Seva Dham in Lekhi village, where group physical training exercises will also take place, the sources added.

Bhagwat will also meet several dignitaries and senior functionaries of ideologically affiliated organisations.

His Arunachal visit follows a five-day engagement in Guwahati. After concluding his tour on 2 March, he will return to Assam for further centenary-related engagements, the sources said.

The RSS will complete 100 years on Vijaya Dashami this year, with various programmes planned across the country.
