The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will kick off its significant AIEB meeting at Indore starting on November 2. The meeting will be attended by the RSS chief Mohan Bhagvat and around 408 leaders from all over the country.

Discussions will focus on activities celebrating the Centenary year, organisational expansion and social issues, the growth of the problem of drugs on young people to be given special attention.

Focus on Drug Awareness Campaign

The rise of the use of narcotics have been a worry at the several meetings the RSS has attended, the RSS said. Drug abuse is extending its penetration to the youth community and is being taken as a serious social problem.

The organisation will continue to engage with public and educational institutions to ensure that public awareness campaigns on the dangers of drugs are carried out which will be geared towards keeping young people off drugs. It has already engaged with several institutions and feels families/crises also need to be active in the process.

RSS Reports Organisational Expansion

The RSS is running 1,01,151 daily shakhas to date and its programs have reached in 1,10,849 locations so far, he said. Over the last year, there have been over 13,000 new shakhas added.
