Ranchi, Jul 14 (PTI) Youths in large numbers are getting “attracted to RSS ideology” and becoming a part of it every year, an office bearer of the organisation said on Sunday.

Over one lakh youths join the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh each year through the ‘Join RSS’ platform, its national publicity head Sunil Ambekar said.

Ambekar was addressing the media on the concluding day of the three-day meeting of ‘Prant Pracharaks’ in Ranchi.

“A total of 66,529 people joined the RSS till June this year,” he said.

Organisational expansion and the upcoming centenary year celebrations were among the issues discussed during the meeting.

Ambekar said a target has been set to hold daily ‘shakhas’ (prayer rituals) in all mandals (a group of 8-10 villages) in rural areas by ‘Vijaya Dashami’ in 2025 when the organisation completes 100 years.

Changes have also been made in the structure and curriculum of Sangh training classes from this year, he said.
