Dynamic power house energizing nation..! Third year summer camp of RSS commences in Nagpur

Nagpur, May 23: Standing self-confident and resurgent for the welfare of entire mankind, the 25 days summer encampment base of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh commenced on Thursday with around 800 volunteers from across the country participating within.

 

Inaugurating the training base, RSS sarkaryawah (general secretary) Bhaiyyaji Joshi at Dr Hedgewar Smriti Mandir, Reshimbagh expressed the ideal of Sangh to carry the nation to the pinnacle of glory through organizing the entire society. Verily this is the one real national as well as global mission. If ever there was one.

 

During his address, Joshi said, "Broader vision is required for the progress of a nation. Having pan-India vision and pan-Indianness are two different things. As a swayamsevak, you have pan-India vision, but this training will give you an experience of pan-Indianness, which will broaden your pan- India vision," he said.

 

The purpose of the training, according to RSS founder KB Hedgewar, is to raise a cadre which can communicate the organisation’s vision to society at large. It all starts with Prathmik Shiksha Varg, or initial training camp, after which committed members move to the second level, called Pratham Varsha Sangh Shiksha Varg, and then to Dwitiya Varsh Sangh Shiksha Varg, and finally to the Tritiya Shiksha Varg.

 

“During the camp, the selected volunteers from various states stay at Nagpur for 25 days and receive training in RSS principles and ideology”, a release issued by the Sangh said adding that those RSS volunteers, who have completed the first two years of training in the organisation, can take part in the third year training camp.

 

"Around 828 swayamsevaks from across the country are participating in this 25-day camp this year," it added.

 

The rigorous daily routine, from 4 am till 10 pm, includes physical exercises and yoga in the morning, group discussions on various current issues, lectures and evening drills, training in unarmed combat techniques called ‘Niyuddh’, code of conduct during disaster management, importance of prachar (publicity), service activities and rural development, and basic lessons in security management and indigenous farming.

 

"Stress is laid on ideological and philosophical training. In the beginning, the camps used to have entertainment programmes every Saturday and a weekly off on Sunday. Later, the duration of camps was reduced to 30 days, and then to 25 days. Over time, the focus has switched to ideological thinking from military drills and physical exercises", RSS issue confirmed.
