Earlier on February 20, Bhagwat also inaugurated the new office of the organisation in New Delhi, called the 'Keshav Kunj'. While addressing a gathering at the Pravesh Utsav program of the renovated 'Keshav Kunj', the RSS chief underlined the symbolic importance of the building's grandeur, stating that it should reflect the organisation's commitment to its ideals and the transformative impact of its work.
Reflecting on the Sangh's journey, Bhagwat cautioned that while circumstances may change, the RSS's direction and core values must remain steadfast.
"The grandeur that is visible in this office should reflect the grandeur of the work of the Sangh, and its essence should be felt here. It doesn't take long for a change in state... We continued, and now our circumstances have changed. In changing circumstances, we must be careful not to change our direction," the RSS Chief said.
The reconstruction project spans 3.75 acres and consists of three 12-story buildings, which will house approximately 300 rooms and offices. These buildings have been named Sadhna, Prerna, and Archana.
RSS was founded in 1925, by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar. He announced the inauguration on September 27. According to the organisation, the 'formal beginning' of the Sangh took place at the residence of Hedgewar in Nagpur. 2025 marks their 100-year (centenary) celebrations. (ANI)
