Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) centenary celebrations as the chief guest on October 1, 2025. The event takes place at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi, kicking off at 10:30 a.m.
During the gathering, Modi will unveil a special commemorative postage stamp and coin. These items highlight the RSS’s key contributions to India over the past century. He will also speak to the audience about the organization’s impact.
The RSS started in 1925 in Nagpur, founded by Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar. It began as a volunteer group focused on building cultural awareness, discipline, and social responsibility among Indians. Today, it stands as one of India’s biggest socio-cultural forces.
The organization’s vision grew as a pushback against years of foreign rule. It draws on ideas of India’s national glory, deeply tied to Dharma, the traditional principles of duty and righteousness. RSS leaders say it’s a grassroots movement for rebuilding the nation, one person at a time.
At its heart, the RSS works to build strong national character. It encourages love for the motherland, self-control, bravery, and heroism. The big aim? “Sarvangeena Unnati,” or all-round progress for India.
Over 100 years, the RSS and its affiliates have stepped up in education, healthcare, social services, and disaster relief. Volunteers often lead the charge during crises like floods, earthquakes, and cyclones, helping with rescue and recovery on the ground.
This centenary event celebrates the RSS’s rich history while spotlighting its ongoing role in India’s cultural story and bringing communities together. As the press release puts it, it honors past wins and spreads a message of national unity for the future.
