To expand youth base, RSS looks at metros, IITs, IIMs

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is looking at new ways for motivating youths to join the organisation not only in rural areas but also in major cities such as Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore and Mumbai. And on top of its radar are youths doing professional courses in reputed institutes such as IITs and IIMs.

Sources said though the RSS’ national executive, which met in Gorakhpur this week, discussed issues relating to its concern over national security, Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat was also reportedly worried about exploring new ways to revamp the organisation in order to meet fresh challenges in the world of modern technology.

Sources in the RSS further said Bhagwat is keen to make his organisation technology-friendly. “RSS chief Bhagwat had tasked Sewa Bharti to make the organisation technology-friendly. He collected information about the progress on this front during his meeting with RSS functionaries in Gorakhpur,” the source added.
