Scindia, Ramdev, Kangana Ranaut among dignitaries at RSS' centenary celebrations

Yoga guru Ramdev, JDU leader KC Tyagi, Bollywood actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, and Union ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia and Anupriya Patel were among the dignitaries who attended the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Tuesday.

The three-day programme, themed '100 Years Journey of RSS: New Horizons', began at Vigyan Bhawan here.

On the first day of the lecture series, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat shared his vision for the future of India and the role of 'swayamsevaks' (RSS volunteers) in shaping it. He will respond to questions from the participants on the third day of the event.

In a massive public outreach, the RSS has planned to organise several events, including more than one lakh 'Hindu sammelans', across the country to mark its centenary year, starting with Bhagwat's address at the organisation's headquarters in Nagpur on Vijaya Dashami, which falls on October 2 this year.

It also has plans to conduct a nationwide door-to-door public contact programme during its centenary year.

On the inaugural day, representatives from as many as 25 embassies including China, Denmark, USA, Russia and Israel were also present.

Others present at the event were RSS joint general secretary Arun Kumar and Krishna Gopal.

Representatives from think tanks such as ORF, Thinkers USA and Infinity Foundation were also present.
