Pune: RSS, affiliated organisations to boost women’s participation ( Hindustan Times )

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliated organizations have decided to increase women's participation in the organization and will hold regional-level meetings across India. The move comes as the BJP also focuses on women voters. Other topics discussed at the meeting included the situation in Manipur, the inauguration of the Ram Temple, foreign policy, and the growth of the RSS. The number of RSS shakhas (branches) has increased from 38,913 in 2020 to 42,613 in 2023.
