A Century of Service and Unity
CM Dhami emphasized that throughout its remarkable century-long journey, the RSS has successfully created what he described as a "divine stream of harmony" flowing across the nation. The organization, he noted, has played a pivotal role in awakening national consciousness and fostering a deep sense of self-pride among Indian citizens.
"The RSS has worked tirelessly to strengthen the cultural unity of our nation," Dhami stated during his assembly speech. "Their dedication to national service and social harmony has left an indelible mark on India's development story."
Building National Character
The Chief Minister highlighted how the RSS's century of work has contributed significantly to nation-building efforts. Through various initiatives and consistent grassroots work, the organization has helped shape a collective national identity rooted in India's rich cultural heritage while embracing modern development goals.
Dhami's address came during a special discussion in the state assembly, where legislators across party lines acknowledged the RSS's completion of 100 years. The session reflected on the organization's evolution from its founding in 1925 to becoming one of the largest voluntary organizations in the world.
Enduring Legacy
The centenary celebration of RSS marks a significant milestone in India's social history. Over these hundred years, the organization has expanded its reach across the country, establishing itself as a prominent force in cultural and social spheres while maintaining its core focus on discipline, character-building, and national service.
As India continues its development journey, CM Dhami expressed confidence that the values promoted by the RSS would continue to guide the nation toward greater unity and prosperity in the coming decades.
