On this occasion, the Prime Minister also released a specially designed commemorative postage stamp and coin highlighting the RSS’s contributions to the nation.

PM Modi said, Tomorrow is Vijayadashmi, a festival which symbolises the victory of good over evil, the victory of justice over injustice, the victory of truth over falsehoods, and the victory of light over darkness.

Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister for Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that the RSS ignited the spirit of nation-building and cultural awareness among the people.

He added that the volunteers of the organisation are actively engaged in various activities related to social development, national service, security, and welfare, while binding societies.
