NEW DELHI: As the BJP gears up for the selection of its new national president, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has also decided to hold its annual national level Prant Pracharak (provincial in-charge Pracharak) meeting in New Delhi from July 4 to 6 this year. The RSS will conduct the meeting at its Delhi based headquarter named as ‘Keshav kunj’.

The RSS’s Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh (All India Publicity Chief) Sunil Ambekar, officially confirming this, said, "All Prant-pracharaks, Sah-prant pracharaks and Kshetra (Regional - unit of 3-4 provinces) pracharaks, and Sah-kshetra pracharaks will be attending this meet."

In a statement, Ambedkar detailed the agenda for this meet: report and review about recently concluded RSS training camps, execution details about upcoming year-long RSS centenary year programmes, tour plans of RSS chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat for the year 2025-26, and other events.

The RSS centenary year (2025-26) programs will commence from Vijayadashami, which falls on October 2 this year, and continue till next year’s Vijayadashami in 2026.
