The entire year’s programme and agenda of the Sangh is decided in Pratinidhi Sabha, which is the most significant meeting of the RSS.
Last year, the annual meeting of the RSS was held on March 12, 13 and 14, at Samalkha, Haryana.
During the ‘Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha’ last year, various issues, including the ‘population explosion’ in the country and ‘social harmony’ were discussed, the Sangh sources informed.
Further, according to Sangh sources, emphasis was given to topics like spreading social harmony among the masses. Discussion on ways to control the population was also held during the event.
“India is batting a population explosion. The solution to this problem and ways to control it were discussed in the meeting. Along with this, issues leading to population explosion were also identified,” a Sangh source said.
“The imbalance of population in some parts of the country, especially in states like Bengal, Assam, and Bihar, bordering Bangladesh, is also a major cause of concern,” the source added.
