On the first day of Hindu New Year, RSS launched a campaign to make 1.25 lakh new volunteers in Kashi province.

The decision to launch the campaign to add new volunteers to the RSS was taken in the recently concluded meeting of the Akhil Bharatiya Partinidhi Sabha (ABPS) of the RSS in Karnataka.

Virendra Jaiswal said that 138 RSS shakhas have increased in Kashi province in one year and now there are 2,851 shakhas. Many young men, including students and businessmen, are attending the shakhas.

Jaiswal said that Sangh volunteers will organise programmes at the block level in RSS uniform. A target has been set to make 1.25 lakh new RSS volunteers in Kashi province. This campaign will be started from this month itself.

A door-to-door contact campaign will be conducted for three weeks in November. In the Griha Sampark Abhiyan, the volunteers will carry books in their hands and will provide literature.
