Patna: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived in Patna on Sunday for a four-day visit to Bihar, focusing on organisational reviews, ideological guidance, and interactions with volunteers as part of the RSS centenary year celebrations.
Symbolic Welcome at Airport
Bhagwat was received at Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary. This marked the first time in Bihar that a chief minister personally received the RSS chief at the airport, a development political observers described as carrying significant symbolism.
Senior RSS functionaries, including Kshetra Pracharak Ramnavami Prasad, Kshetra Karyavah Mohan Singh, and Kshetra Prachar Pramukh Rajesh Pandey, were also present to welcome the Sarsanghchalak.
Main Events in Munger
Bhagwat later proceeded to the historic town of Munger, where he will participate in the ongoing 'Karyakarta Vikas Varg' (Volunteer Development Camp), which has been active since May 24. The Sarsanghchalak will stay in Munger for the next three days until June 10, according to Abhishek Kumar, the Sangh's Prant Prachar Pramukh (Dakshin Bihar).
The main events are being held at the Saraswati Vidya Mandir campus in Puraniganj, Munger. Bhagwat is scheduled to leave Munger on June 10, Kumar added.
Training and Guidance for Volunteers
During his stay, Bhagwat will provide training, mentorship, and ideological guidance to approximately 400 RSS volunteers from Bihar and Jharkhand, an RSS functionary said.
Security Arrangements
Tight security arrangements have been put in place in Patna and Munger in view of the visit. A senior police officer stated that high-level administrative coordination and enhanced security measures have been deployed in both districts due to Bhagwat's Z+ security cover.
