Concerns about the environment are increasing continuously all over the world including in India. Amid increased pollution and warnings issued at international levels to save the environment, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have begun a campaign and formed a separate department for environmental conservation.

Senior RSS pracharak Gopal Arya has been appointed as the in-charge of the department. The Sangh has began the campaign with an aim to push the issue of environmental conservation at the international level, thus naming the programme “Sumangalam”.

For a wider impact in India and across the globe, RSS-affiliated organisations working in the field of environment, as well as concerned government ministries, are participating in the campaign.

“Five central ministers of the government will be directly involved in this campaign. We will run this campaign in coordination with the central government and the focus will be on connecting the common people along with the volunteers, farmers, and students who will also be trained for this campaign,” an RSS functionary said.
