Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined the unwavering dedication of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to nation-building during an event commemorating its 100-year anniversary. At the ceremony, PM Modi released a special postal stamp as a tribute to the organization's enduring contributions.

Recalling the significant participation of RSS volunteers in the 1963 Republic Day parade, Modi emphasized that the organization has continuously prioritized national unity and service since its inception. He asserted that despite challenges, the RSS remains strong in its mission to foster cultural awareness and social responsibility.

Founded in 1925 by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in Nagpur, the RSS was designed as a volunteer-based organization devoted to instilling discipline and empowering citizens. Modi's own history as an RSS 'pracharak' further connects him to the group that inspires the ideology of his political party, the BJP.
