RSS meet to discuss demographic imbalance, drug abuse among youth

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization, is set to hold a three-day All India Coordination Meeting in Visakhapatnam from August 19 to 21. The meeting will address demographic changes, youth drug abuse, and enhance coordination among Sangh-inspired organizations.

RSS national publicity chief Sunil Ambekar revealed that around 327 delegates from 32 affiliated Sangh organizations, including the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bharatiya Janata Party, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, and Rashtra Sevika Samiti, are expected to attend. Ambekar clarified that the meeting is not for decision-making but for delegates to share experiences and improve coordination.

The discussion will include current national developments, social changes, and emerging challenges. The RSS will also review its "Panch Parivartan" campaign, focusing on social harmony, environmentally friendly lifestyle, family values, indigenous consciousness, and civic duties. Additionally, deliberations will cover the organization's proposed "Bharatiya Development Model," which aims to include development progress across various societal spheres beyond economic growth.

The meeting will also delve into youth-led protests across India, particularly those held at Jantar Mantar and Jharkhand. RSS registrations through its "Join RSS" website have surged, with over 1,23,287 registrations between January and July 2026, compared to 57,423 in the same period in 2025. A significant majority of these registrations are from individuals aged below 30, and nearly 85% are under 40 years old.
