FOREWORD

The present compilation of "SEVA DISHA" , I believe, forms an important milestone in the evolution of the service-activities initiated by the Sangh Swayamsevaks all over the country. Conceived by revered Dr. Hedgewar, the founder of the Sangh, as the crucial instrument for bringing about all-round national reconstruction, the Swayamsevaks have plunged into work in various regions of the country, the founder had evolved the technique of Sangh solely for the purpose of moulding selfinspired, disciplined and dedicated men fit for their jobs. It was natural that they would have to work through various agencies and organisations but the objective was the same supreme goal. "SEVA DISHA" is the very first All-Bharat effort for bringing under one umbrella all such projects and activities and their organising agencies. The "SEVA DISHA", as its self-explanatory name suggests, endeavours more than a mere cataloguing exercise. It provides glimpse into the life-aspects in which the Swayamsevaks are striving to bring about the transformation. The DISHA i.e., the chief thrust of the Seva activities, is far more important than the activities themselves. It is to create conditions which would quicken among the recipient of the service, the urge for self-improvement and eventually make them self-reliant. Service, as meaning just doling out some crumbs of benefits and amenities demeans both- the recipient as much as the person who serves - the former tending to lose self-esteem and turning into a life long supplicant and the latter tending to bloat himself as a saviour. During the last few decades there have been well known service organisations built up and even now being run by eminent social workers. They have kept up the flame of spirit of service burning even under most adverse conditions. However, they have been experiencing that in the absence of the above-mentioned psychological perception and understanding among their workers, the actual improvement in the conditions of the service recipient has fallen far short of their expectations. Moreover quite a few of such endeavours have also been infiltrated and infected by ideological perversions of political power-seekers. The unique feature of the social service projects undertaken by the Swayamsevaks lies in their focus on this aspect of psychological transformation and strictly keeping themselves aloof from the tentacles of power-politics. Yet another undoing of several of the service of the projects has been their sole dependence on the Governmental aid. The volunteer-workers would, in turn, become government servants and the recipient of service too would look upon them as such. The spirit of selflessness and sacrifice so very vital for the worker for establishing his credibility among the people becomes a causality. There is one more basic aspect. Why is it that our country, once famed for its abundance and riches, and achievements in all fields of human endeavour was reduced to the present state of utter dependence and degradation? The simple answer is, that we had lost the consciousness of being a single national entity of "One Country, One people and One culture". Any project aiming at removing any kind of deficiency in any area, should also necessarily be directed towards eradicating that basic lacuna. In the Hindu view, our society is Virata Purusha - a colossal living entity. Just as a living body keenly feels the defect or hurt in any part of the body and responds adequately to remedy it, our people should also be properly motivated and energised to involve themselves in all such social transformation efforts. The DISHA also indicates a very natural direction; in the sense the service-field chosen will be the most needy sections of society such as the urban slums, the rural poor and the vanavasis - the forest-dwellers (called tribals or adi-vasis). The entire Shakha - technique which the Swayamsevaks undergo is fashioned towards not only making them intensely conscious of being very much a living part of "One Country - One People-One Culture", but also capable of taking along others as well in their mission. In fact, the effectiveness of a worker is evaluated on this all-too-important touchstone, of how far he is able to involve the local people both the recipients of service and the rest of society, in the Seva-project with the same attitude. This is what is meant by SEVA DISHA. As even a cursory perusal will indicate, this social transformation aspect cannot be expected in a compilation of this sort. The present effort is limited to the delineation of the outward form of the activities. Their impact aspect will have to be dealt with in the second part of SEVA DISHA. And both these parts together can be expected to give a much needed fillip for deciding upon the further expansion and intensification of this Seva-dimension of the Sanghas vision in action. The compilers preface is sufficient to denote what an elaborate, systematic and country-wide effort had to be made to collect all this authentic information and for classifying the same. I specially thank the dedicated workers of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, Mumbai and of CBR NETWORK, under Hindu Seva Prathisthana, at Bangalore, as also the hundreds of Seva Vibhag workers of Sangh and Sangh inspired organizations to complete this onerous task in a very short time. I am sure that all of them will be more than gratified if all our concerned important workers in the seva field will make use of this compilation for their further guidance.

PREFACE - SEVA DISHA 95

Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar the founder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was a zealous patriot. Through R.S.S. Shakhas he inculcated the basic values such as love for society and the country, discipline, unity, integrity, character, etc, in the people. Hence, it is not surprising that the R.S.S Swayamsevaks are always in the forefront in rendering selfless service to the afflicted in times of natural or man-made calamities. Mutual trust and assistance, self-reliance, and self-confidence are the basis on which the RSS operates. The aim of RSS is to achieve PARAM VAIBHAVA - a Glorious and prosperous Bharat, by developing a self-respecting, self confident and self reliant society. Many social service activities have been started by Sangh Swayamsevaks covering a very wide spectrum of social service areas and avenues, particularly amongst the Vanavasis living in remote hills and forests and the other deprived sections living in villages, towns and cities nationwide. During 1989, the birth centenary year of Dr. Hedgewar, a special "Seva Vibhag" was constituted in RSS to carry on Seva activities widely and more vigorously. Full time pracharaks and a good number of active workers were encouraged to involve themselves in these seva activities. Meanwhile the seva activities under the Sangh inspired organisations like Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Vidya Bharathi, etc. also increased. Taking cognisance of this growth in the seva sphere, the senior workers of RSS during the Deepavali of 1994, decided that a DATA-BANK cum Status-report be prepared of all the seva activities run by Swayamsevaks under all the Sangh inspired organisations and institutions entitled "Seva Disha 95". Three principal objectives were set before for the status report: 1. 2. 3. To compile statistical information about various types of seva activities. To compile a Prant-wise, district-wise and activity-wise directory of the Sangh inspired organisations and institutions. To study a few general trends, emerging as a result of the seva rendered, towards a favourable social transformation.

In this regard, the first meeting of a few senior-workers was held at Nagpur during December 1994, to discuss the modalities of Data Collection and Compilation. A provisional proforma was designed which was pretested during Jan. 1995 in two districts: Thane in Maharashtra and Bangalore in Karnataka. After incorporating necessary modifications therein, during a few more sittings of workers, a final proforma was accepted. A Prantwise training programme for data collectors, all over the country was completed by 15th May 1995. The work of initial data collection as per the proforma, scrutiny etc. was completed by the middle of September 1995. This data was fed into the computer during November 1995 and the report in its present form, from the available data, was ready by December 15th 1995. In a vast country like Bharat, with thousands of Seva activities spread over several Prants, involving thousands of workers, it was a Herculean task to collect the data and compile the same. But thanks to the network of RSS Shakhas and its inspired organisations all over the country, the challenge was accepted and executed, in what can now be said, in a record time! Because of tremendous diversity in the types of seva activities conducted as per needs and local situations, it was quite difficult to group them under a few broad categories. Still, an attempt has been made to group them under five major service areas: 1. Health care Services 2. Education 3. Samajik Samskar 4. Samajik Vikas 5. Casual/Occasional Seva Work Each major service area, in turn, is sub-divided into 12-18 activities. Data is collected as per this scheme.One important clarification is necessary at this stage. Many Sangh inspired organisations are running schools and various educational institutions on professional lines. These are not counted as seva activity. However, some of these schools and institutions conduct some seva activities in backward areas. Such seva activities are taken into account in this compilation. An attempt is made to present information about the human and financial inputs in the Seva-work carried out by the Sangh Swayamsevaks. Except in a few cases, most of the seva activities are self reliant because they have been successful in mobilising local man-power and resources. Such wholehearted involvement of the society also indicates the immense faith the people have in Sangh Workers. Most of the tables are self-explanatory. Some terms, connotations, abbreviations etc., used in this report have been explained at appropriate places. In a vast country like Bharat, with thousands of Seva activities spread over several Prants, involving thousands of workers, it was a Herculean task to collect the data and compile the same. It is a fact that compiling a Data-Bank and presenting a STATUS-REPORT can neither be the aim nor an end in itself. It is more important, to find out the qualitative impact of the seva work. On the basis of the present information an in-depth study to evaluate the impact in terms of the expected social transformation, is proposed to be conducted in

a year or two. Any suggestions, opinions, comments and queries about this report are welcome. So too, any errors, omissions, lapses, etc. in this report may kindly be conveyed, so that appropriate corrections could be incorporated in the next edition. I must put on record, my gratitude to the Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini of Mumbai and the Seva-in-Action of Bangalore, both Sangh inspired institutions, for their ungrudging assistance in all the stages of preparing this report. In the end, I cannot resist offering my sincere thanks in particular to Sri. Madhava Mehendale, a well known social worker of Pune, Smt. Indumathi Rao of Seva-in-Action, Bangalore, Smt. Smita Bhagwat, Computer consultant of Mumbai, Sri. Vinay Sahasrabuddhe and Sri. Ravindra Sathe of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, Mumbai, and Sri. Ramachandra Paranjipe of Mumbai, to whom this project Seva-Disha-1995 is very much indebted for the ready assistance they have rendered in executing several responsibilities such as planning, training of the data collectors, computer work etc. K.Suryanarayana Rao Akhil Bharat Seva Pramukh,Seva Vibhag Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh

Preface-Seva Disha 97
This preface is to be read together with and as a supplement to the preface of the first edition of "Seva Disha 95". Readers might remember that we published in the year 1995, a book titled "SEVA DISHA 95" It was more or less a "Status Report" on seva activities conducted by the RSS and several organisations and individuals taking inspiration from the RSS. The said book was well received and acclaimed. Indeed, the accolades received for publishing "Seva Disha 95" have encouraged us to improve upon it and compile this second report in its revised format. Needless to mention that the office bearers and workers took considerable pains, putting in hours of hard work. Each prant had to fill in literally hundreds of forms, classify them and scrutinise them. It was, therefore, understandable that some prants needed extension of the intended dead-line. This report includes data upto 15-8-97, unless stated otherwise. The most significant outcome of these two exercises is that our seva involved workers have realised the importance of "DOCUMENTATION", an activity which many of us had been traditionally taking lightly. That is why it was a pleasant experience receiving most of the data meticulously filled in. It is significant to note that a good number of forms were filled in by the grass-root level workers themselves. I am sure that some items included in the data collection forms (included, not for any scientific research/investigation, but mainly as a "calling attention" measure) gave a "Teaching" opportunity to the office bearers by bringing to the notice of seva-involved workers, various facets of seva work. They now stand alerted about the need to keep a watchful eye not only on the various dimensions of seva work but also on the varied expectations from seva work they do.It is hoped that our Seva-involved workers have now realised that they can do and that they will have to do much more than mechanically implementing routine activities for just a few hours! It is only by paying adequate attention to all such ancillary dimensions that a sevakarya centre will achieve the intended social transformation. Yet another healthy benefit of these two exercises is that workers have now started documenting and publishing their experiences. Special efforts are now made to pool together morale-boosting, eye opening, exemplary types of experiences gained while implementing seva work or as a result of it. A few such experiences are given in this book as samples. "SEVA PATH" a book published in Hindi, Gujarati and English vividly depicts such experiences in a "Classified" presentation. It is expected that each Prant will publish its own mine of rich experiences indicative of favourable social change for mutual sharing. Needless to state that such books serve to fulfill the vital need of convincing our workers that sustained, selfless seva is bound to create a healthy impact on the concerned population. It gives me great pleasure in stating that the seva activities have now not only stabilised but are also growing, both qualitatively and quantitatively at an accelerated pace. I feel confident that the day is not too far when we will have reached all the hitherto untouched nooks and corners of our country through sevakarya. K.Suryanarayana Rao Akhil Bharatiya Seva Pramukh Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Chennai,Dec 97

Preamble
It was not a simple task to compile information for this book. In our vast country, with numerous organizations involved in Seva work, it was indeed a tough task. But thanks to our wide-spread organizational network and excellent liaison between various organizations we were able to collect data for this book in a relatively short period. This was also facilitated because our workers have been exposed to such an exercise before. The statistical information presented in this book is based on documents and data received upto 15th August 1997, except in a few cases wherein it is upto 31st March 97. This book, therefore could be treated as a "Progress Report" with reference to our earlier publication "Seva Disha-95". Compilation of the present data entailed considerable labour for the office bearers and workers of the organizations, heads of institutions and seva-involved workers at various levels. Indeed it was possible to compile the present data only because we received excellent co-operation from hundreds of workers in our country. True, it was a time consuming exercise. But the data base now designed is such that, in future, our work is simplified. In future all that the various organisations will have to do is to send information about (a) Sevakaryas newly started hereafter and (b) Sevakaryas discontinued, if any. The data can be revised and updated in a very short time once that is done.One clarification regarding the number of places at which seva work is conducted is felt essential. This figure would be on a slightly higher side. This is because, various Matrusamsthas and samsthas have been operating sevakaryas at one and the same place. Since separate data-entry forms are filled for each sevakarya, these organizations have reported separately about the same place. This problem is sorted out by our computer experts to a large extent; but there still remains a possibility of discrepancy in this regard.What we noticed in the present data collection exercise was that our workers who work with devotion and sincerity in their field work have also been trained for documentation. That is why most of the data forms were filled in properly. Another heartening feature is that the data forms were filled in by grass-root level seva workers who operate their respective centers. In the current compilation an effort was made to learn about the problems and difficulties faced by our workers, their concern about various aspects of life of the population in which they conduct their work and a few aspects of impact of seva work on the concerned people. These questions were included more as a, "calling attention" effort rather than for conducting a scientific research. In view of constraints regarding the space available in this book it was felt desirable to present these findings and observations, item by item in the " Total contexts" i.e. taking view of our country as a whole. A new addition, this time, is the inclusion of a few events in "Boxes". We now have a mine of such eye-opening and glaring experiences. But here again we were restricted by limitation of space.One deviation from "Seva Disha 95" is that the directory of samsthas in various Prants is presented separately. However the addresses of National Head Quarters and Prant Head Quarters of Matrusamsthas are included in this book. The Prant-wise directory of Samsthas can be procured on request. One difficulty was brought to our notice by readers, not fully conversant with our terminology. A glossary of terms is provided in this book to overcome that inconvenience. Poojaneeya Prof.Rajendra Singh, the Sarasanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has pointed out in his foreword that we should not remain satisfied with mere compilation of status reports but we should go beyond and study the impact we create on the society as a result of seva activities. It would not be out of place to mention what we propose to do after publishing this book. A study of the impact of seva work is proposed. A design for studying the impact is now ready. It awaits field-testing. Once that is done a full-fledged study will be launched all over our country in the near future. But the fact that our workers have, by now, achieved reasonable experience with regard to documentation, has generated confidence in all of us that we shall successfully conduct that study as well. Based on this study of the impact on the society, Seva activity can be evaluated and the usefulness of any specific seva activity as an instrument of Social transformation can be decided.It is hoped that with this systematic and scientific approach all our workers will get a clear picture about the various Seva karyas and thus develop them to bring about the desired transformation for the total rejuvenation and glory of our Motherland.

Politically, Bharat has 26 States and 6 Union Territories. But for administrative convenience, the RSS has organised Bharat into 30 Prants, in 9 zones. In doing this, larger political states of Karnataka, Andhra, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are organised in more than one Prant each. Some states like Kerala, Tamilnadu, Orissa, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab and our capital Delhi are treated as a Prant each. The seven north-eastern states are organised into two prants- - Uttar Assam and Dakshin Assam. Himachal Pradesh and Jammu-Kashmir constitute one Prant titled Himagiri. Bengal and Sikkim constitute one Prant. The Union territories are included in their neighbouring Prants. For example Goa is included in Maharashtra (excluding Vidarbha), Pondichery is included in Tamilnadu, Andaman and Nicobar islands are included in Bengal. Daman-Dau and Dadra- Nagar Hamli are included in Gujarat and Lakshadweep is included in Kerala. Bharat is predominantly an agricultural land. But it also has developed industrially. One finds a tremendous variety in topography, languages, Religious Panths, diet, dress and lifestyles. Yet Bharat is bound by strong Samskrutik (cultural) bonds. That is why, despite foreign invasions and rules, the unity and integrity of the people of Bharat has remained intact. The temples and places of worship spread all over our country have played a unique role in binding people of various faiths and States together. True, some evils such as casteism, discrimination on grounds of gender and birth did enter our social fabric. Some evil social practices (dowry, untouchability, etc.) resulted in creating social distance amongst our society. The RSS and the Sangh inspired organisations are in the forefront in the fight against these evils. Our Cultural history dates back to thousands of years. Our ancient texts on all aspects governing the life of people are rich mines of philosophy, scientific knowledge and indeed all aspects of life. They have been currently attracting the attention of the Western World and all other "Advanced" countries. The RSS was founded by late Dr. Hedgewar in the year 1925. It now stands as the largest social organisation in the world. It was founded to unite all Hindus under one fold, to make them a homogeneous, self-respecting, self-reliant spirited patriotic force for attaining "Parama Vaibhava" (Uppermost, Glorious position) of our nation. Right since its inception the RSS was instrumental in inspiring several individuals and organisations for entering and working in various fields. Several of these organisations have, by now, grown extensively, so much so, that they have acquired the status of largest organisations in Bharat. They have extended their scope of work beyond the boundaries of Bharat. Their representatives are now being frequently invited abroad. Seva Vibhag of RSS was created in the year 1989. Full-time workers and Pracharaks were spared to guide, coordinate and assist seva work of RSS and other individuals and organisations inspired by the RSS ideology.

HEALTH SERVICES AND HEALTH PROMOTION

What other ideal could be placed before a society than the one stated above? The Sangh inspired organisations carry out seva activities towards this eand. Health care work carried out by them is one tool to achieve that ideal goal. That is why we conduct thousands of health care centres all over the country. However, merely curing the diseases and ailments is not the end of our helath care services. What we endeavour for if inculcating healty health-related practices, introducing innovative ideas and concepts, operating model centers (whether it is a hospital or a blood bank or helath camps such as for eye, ENT or fitting artificial limbs, etc.) That is why no particular "PATHY' is favoured or looked down upon. Any pathy is o.k. so long as it produces the desired results! Towards this end, we promote YOGA, make special efforts to identify locally recognised traditional health care practices and upgrade them. Another specially of our health care services is that we try to conduct follow-up visits. In several centres, help of local volunteers is taken to conduct follow-ups. Our doctors, too, visit the previously treated patients during their clinic days. Health education, efforts at de-addiction, improvement of environment, planting trees and such other activities constitute important ancillary components in our health care services. A few examples of our achievements in this regard should be enough to convince the readers about our outlook, methods and manner of conducting health services. "Service par Excellence" as well as endeavours to reach the very roots or the concerned problems has always been our motto. That is why, "SEVA-IN-ACTION" project for the people with disability, has etched its name on the world map. The concept of "Community Based Rehabilitation"(CBR) of all disabled persons demonstrated successfully in dozens of villages in two districts of Karnataka now stands as an accepted "model" in several countries of the world. Another effort by the CBR Network of organizations working to support is now being conducted in our neighbouring countries (SAARC Countries). Community Based Rehabilitation has been accepted as a STATE POLICY by the Karnataka Govt. for rehabilitation of the disabled. We influenced the Central Govt. of Bharat to accept CBR as the strategy to scaleup basic rehabilitation services to 16 unserved people. We have established several BLOOD BANKS in Bharat and particularly so in Maharashtra. The six Blood Banks operated by our organisations in Maharashtra meet the need of blood to the tune of 40-50% of the total blood bottles supplied in the respective regions. (There are, in all, over 85 blood banks in Maharashtra). The Director of the Pune based R.S.S. Janakalyan Rakta Pedhi is the current Secretary General of the INDIAN SOCIETY OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION UNITS (ISBT) which guides the overall policies in regard to Blood Banks , etc.In addition to collecting Blood, our Blood Banks conduct extensive public education programmes on Blood Donation. They publish literature, organise seminars or actively participate in those organised by others, conduct public education on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases and persuade people to donate blood. In the metropolitan city of Chennai (Madras) the R.S.S. - H.S.S. Blood donation organisers have supplied fresh blood for more than 3000 open heart surgery operations.

Deeds,not words ! Late Poojaneeya Balasaheb Deoras, the third Sarasanghchalak of the Rashtreeya Swayamsevak Sangha (RSS) had been insisting that the performances of the RSS should be judged on the basis of its Social Ideology, Social commitments and Social policies. Common Political footrules should not be applied to evaluate our performance. Poojaneeya Balasaheb set up an example for all of us. He had willed that his eyes be donated after his death. In deference to his noble desire his wish was implemented when he breathed his last in Pune on 17-6-1996

Promoting Health through Health camps

Almost in every city and town in our country the local R.S.S. units provide and maintain the list of blood donors classified under different blood groups and motivate more and more people to donate blood. No wonder, our slogan, Jeete Jeete Raktadan, Jaate Jaate Netradan [Donate Blood while you live, Donate eyes when you depart

from this World] has now caught on.Yet another programme revived by our organisations is the effective utilisation of local paramedical talent for health care services. Thus, local youths work as health volunteers rendering intelligent FIRST AID in common diseases, under the supervision of qualified medical men. These services are operated particularly in remote villages and in vanavasi areas where medical help is needed most. These workers are provided with medical kits.This effort is highly appreciated by the Govt. of Maharashtra. Hundreds of health volunteers are now rendering yeomen service through our various organisations in several states of Bharat.

With an all-round development in the field of education in Bharat, with several facilities now available for free education to women and several other communities and groups of the society, one would wonder why the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and other sangh inspired organizations are involving themselves in education. Sangh inspired organizations established thousands of educational institutions and are conducting educational activities all over the country. Some of our organisations also conduct several innovative experiments including "GURUKULAS" True, basic education in the "Three Rs" is imparted in our educational institutions. The standard of instruction is of such quality that our educational institutions have been showing consistent good performances in all public and competitive examinations. But that is the minimum one expects from "OUR" institutions ! It is our constant and consistent endeavor to establish our "exclusive identity" in operating educational institutions. Several activities, programmes and innovations introduced by us stand out ! For instance, we introduced instructions in Yoga, music ( Sangeeta ), Sanskrit and ethics right from the primary levels. Our programmes are all directed to inculcating in our students concepts and practices of social harmony, patriotism, love for our motherland, national integration, our heritage and our rich "SarvaSamaveshi" ( all embracing ), cultural ethos. All our routine educational activities are supplemented by various functions, activities and programmes all throughout the year. Sports are an inherent component in all our institutions. Discipline is the Watch Word ! All these efforts have been acclaimed at various levels. That is why we have long "waiting lists" of students whose parents are willing to pay fees despite free education available elsewhere. Our efforts have created deep impact not only on the FAMILIES of our students but also on the whole society. But that is not all. We have been successful in favourably influencing the POLICIES at various local and state levels. To quote a few instances :

Delhi and Karnataka governments have issued directives stating that education in SANSKRIT should be imparted in Sanskrit only. "Bala Gokul " programmes have now been officially accepted as standard programmes in Shimoga district of Karnataka and in the state of Kerala for the purpose of imparting cultural education to the students of primary schools. The Mobile Science laboratory operating in the Thane district of Maharashtra is now officially recognized for imparting science education at primary levels in the rural and vanavasi villages. Seva Bharathi of Delhi has received, for three times, the prestigious State Level Award for child development activities. It is our considered opinion that our inputs in education are quite "productive", vis--vis bringing about favourable social transformation.

Vidya Bharathi schools are not counted in seva activities. We operate thousands of one teacher schools in the vanavasi areas. We also run hundreds of hostels for children. For example :

Vanavasi Children Healthy Children of leprosy patients Children from north-eastern Bharat

We conduct hundreds of tuition classes for children of seva bastis. So too we provide "study room" facilities for students from seva bastis in view of lack of such facilities and atmosphere in their environment.

Sports talents from vanavasi areas The Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram annually organizes sports of Vanavasi Youth ( both boys and girls ) meets on an all India level / basis. Thousands of young athletes, both boys and girls, participate from the vanavasi areas of our country. Officials of All India Olympic Association and other national level sports organizations are invited to observe these meets. Every year dozens of athletes are selected for further coaching in the national sports promotion institutions. Top archer Limbaram who represented India in various national and international meets including Olympics was discovered in one such programme. But many more potential Limbarams await graduation to those levels.

SAMAJIK SAMSKARA SAMARASATA

Om Saha navavatu, Sahanau bhunaktu, Saha veeryam Karavavahai Tejaswinavadheetamastu, Ma Vidvishavahvai Om Shantih Shantih Shantih Let us mutually protect each other, let us eat together, let us join in valour, let us be bestowed with divine enlightenment, let no one hate others. Let there be peace and harmony all around It is only the Sangh inspired organisations that not only chant this dictum every day but also earnestly try to put in practice each and every wish stated herein. Perhaps no other country in the world has this model for establishing and maintaining Social Equality (Samajik Samarasata) and social commitments ! Samajik samskar therefore, constitute the most inherent, central component of all seva activities conducted by our organisations. Infact, this aspect is taken care of in each and every seva activity be it operating a school, a health clinic, a coaching centre, a sports promotion programme, a tailoring / vocational training centre or even a welfare programme in times of natural or man made calamities. Despite varying speeds of different vehicles cruising along a main road, most of them are brought together by a red traffic signal. Like such "traffic regulators", the Sangh inspired organisations make consistent and conscious efforts to bring together, all groups, sects, etc. of the community, several times in a year. A few sections of those who are being served ["Sevya Varga"] meet daily or periodically. These samskar based activities serve the function of "Social Levelers". Celebrating social functions of various "panths" and community groups together, sharing food together, striving together for improving and enriching social environment, arranging mutual visits of dignitaries and religious leaders ( Dharmacharyas ) in dalit upekshit localities, are the most common programmes. These result in breaking down social barriers and prejudices. The samskar karya is organised at two levels. On one hand, elite, educated and the so called higher strata of the society are exposed to the anomalies and incongruencies in our social life. Special efforts are made to remove their age old prejudices through "practices", mutual exchange of visits, mutual sharing of food, participating in social / religious functions, marriages, etc. This has resulted in motivating hundreds of such persons, who have offered their services for seva work in villages and upekshit localities ( slums ), where they work with selfless devotion. The concept of Vanaprasthashram ( offering ones life for social services after retirement from routine earning life period ) is gaining increasing popularity. Hundreds of vanaprasthees are now involved in various seva activities in several states. Side by side with the above, special samskar kendras are organised in literally thousands of places in seva bastees ( slums ) in the urban areas, villages and in the vanavasi localities. "Catch them young" is the standard approach in operating Bala Samskar Kendras, Bala Gokulas or Khelkood Kendras.

The elder generations too are covered under Bhajan Mandali, Matru Mandali, Mandir Vyavastha and such other programmes. A significant social change has been achieved through the movement "Vadatu Samskritam" ( Talk in Samskrit ) campaign. Thousands of short courses are organised throughout our country. All types of people in a given locality are invited to participate, be they illiterates, upekshitas, dalits. The very fact that one can converse in Sanskrit ( Devawani ) leads to breaking down of social barriers among the so far neglected groups of the society. In addition, these courses have generated a keen desire for learning Sanskrit in order to explore and re-establish our cultural heritage and links. As an incidental outcome of our efforts in education and samskars, scores of young workers have either started their own seva activities or have started working in seva projects as well as in other programmes sponsored by our organisations. From antagonism to total acceptance Retired Prof. Jagadeesh ji, M.Sc., Ph.D desired to conduct coaching centre in From no entry to the exhaled status of priests Harinagar, a DALIT ( Backward Class ) locality in Meerut metropolitan city. He visited the locality several times going from house to house seeking students. But the politically prejudiced local youths vehemently opposed the idea, so much so that they Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi had to launch movements for allowing prohibited local people from sending their wards to the coaching classes despite offer Harijans and so called low-caste people to enter mandirs ( temples ) and offer worship. It is just a recent past when Harijans were not allowed even to enter of free coaching. temples. Thanks to the lead taken by our organisations, we now see hundreds of At long last one guardian offered his two children. Prof. Jagadeesh gladly accepted temples wherein the so called Harijans and other backward class people officiate as the offer and patiently taught for one whole year. Both the students fared very well in priests in charge of these holy places ! All classes of people not only cheerfully accept the annual exams. This event transformed the entire atmosphere in Harinagar. The them but also encourage this process ! That is why such temples have become the number of students now stands at over 200 ! The local people have offered a proper focus of all round social change in their respective places. A tremendous achievement ! place for conducting coaching classes, which have now become a house-hold word. indeed Not a trace of opposition ! To top it all, the Dalit Academy of Delhi publicly honoured Prof. Jagadeesh with a scroll and a Gold Medal for his services to the Dalits. But this is not an exception ! Thousands of devoted workers are doing likewise. Patient, selfless service is bound to bring desired social harmony !

UNIQUE EFFORT IN REHABILITATION

There are 42 nomadic tribes in Maharashtra. One of them known as "PARDHIS" are branded as bandits since the days of British Rule. Every time a theft, robbery or dacoity takes place, all the Pardhi males in the adjoining places are rounded up and taken into police custody. Pardhis have no permanent abodes. They live in make-shift tents, moving from place to place. The Pardhis, however, are an extremely close-knit community with social codes, customs and norms of their own. Murder, assault, beating, torture, etc. are all taken in thier stride as a way of life by the Pardhis. Their family codes are extremely severe. The government had recognised Pardhis as a "criminal caste". In view of the physical hardships, poverty and ever mobile state of their families, most of the Pardhis are illiterate. Their children suffer from hunger, want, privations. All Pardhis feel very insecure. In this context, they live a life of almost total seclusion from the main stream of society. They are always suspicious of any outsider trying to establish social contacts with them. The sangh inspired workers took up the challenge of bringing the Pardhis in to the mainstream. An organisation titled, "BHATKE VIMUKTA VIKAS PRATISTHAN", has been launched under the leadership of Shri Girish Prabhune who has devoted his life for the welfare and development of the hitherto neglected groups of our society. The developmental activities started with opening a hostel at Yamgarwadi in Dharashiv ( Osmanabad ) district, for children of the Pardhis. This in itself was a bold step. The children had never lived away from their families. They were never exposed to institutional care or discipline. Initially therefore most of them used to run away, But a patient, persuasive approach over a period of 2 to 3 years convinced the parents about the bonafides of our workers. The hostel now provides care and education for over 80 children, which includes 20 girls. There is so much transformation in the outlook of the parents that they are now willing to pay for the education of their children. The next step was taken by acquiring a large piece of forest land. 50 families have been settled at a village called Magar Sangvi. They are allotted lands, the titles of which are in the names of housewives. It is now planned to start co-operative farming besides horticulture. Small scale production units based on locally available raw materials and agricultural / forest products are planned. The impact of our efforts to improve the lot of the Pardhis at Yamgarwadi and Magar Sangvi became apparent in yet another way. A large group of Pardhis in Vidharbha region were disgusted with the continued social harassment meted out to them. They decided to collectively give up Hindu faith and accept Islam. On knowing this, leading workers from Yamgarwadi rushed to the concerned place and successfully persuaded the entire community that they should not relinquish Hindu faith. In view of the success of the projects and programmes launched by the sangh workers, the government of Maharashtra is now taking steps to promote and support such efforts on a large scale. Not only that, the government has now officially deleted the term, "CRIMINAL CASTE", from all official records. The Pardhis now stand on par with any other caste. The age old shackles and fetters stand cast away !

Some Particular Examples Domraja feeds dharmacharyas (religious heads ) and mathadhipatis in his own home Fulfillment of social debt

A sweeper serving in Delhi Municipal services died suddenly. The maternal uncle of The Dom Community in Kashi ( Banaras or Varanasi ) are the traditional out-castes, the sweepers son insisted that the son should accept a permanent job, as sweeper, in charge of looking after the cremation places. Disposal of dead bodies has been their which was then available. But encouraged and supported by Seva Bharathi workers, age old, traditional profession. But no caste Hindu would even touch them. No one ever the son pursued his studies diligently. entered their homes. They remained the most isolated group of our society. For the first time in our social history, several heads of various religious panths, maths, and sanyasins visited the Domraja of Kashi in his home and took meals prepared and served by him. This unheard of episode demonstrated to every one our faith in Hindava Sahodara Sarve Na Hindu Patito Bhavet ( All Hindus are brothers, no Hindu ever becomes outcaste ). This incident took place at Varanasi during the Dharmasamsad of V.H.P. held in 1995. The son, now an engineer, works in the water supply department of Delhi Muncipal Board. He donates Rs.250/- per month for promotion of education in seva bastees and also actively participates in various seva activities. But this is not an exceptional case. Several sevitas have been doing like-wise ! Indeed, that is why we are able to rapidly expand our seva activities.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ATMANIRBHARATA (SELF-RELIANCE)

One of the principal objectives of seva activities carried out by Sangh inspired organisations is to make the society self-dependent. It is therefore our consistent endeavour to generate self-respect and confidence in the concerned communities so that they themselves should be empowered to handle and solve their own problems and overcome shortcomings of individuals or of their respective localities, villages etc. Vocational training courses are being organised in various disciplines for men and women, primarily with a view to generate self-employment. These include training in tailoring, knitting, machine-operating, typing, computer operations, horticulture, agriculture, social forestry and a host of such other courses. This same approach is implemented in facing calamities natural or man-made. Thus in efforts towards rehabilitation of persons uprooted on account of cyclone in Andhra or earthquakes in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh or Uttar Pradesh, the concerned people were given tools instead of doling out cash, so that they could immediately start working for a living. Collective efforts are also made by organising self-help saving groups, co-operatives and small scale production centres. Several co-operative banks sponsored through our efforts have achieved the status of "Scheduled Banks" in relatively short periods. "Samagra Gram Vikas" - Total village development is yet another programme, currently being carried out, all over our country, in selected places. Freedom from hunger, illiteracy, diseases and providing shelter constitute the core of our efforts in such places. However, development of water resources, agriculture, local industries, market for local products, constitute a part of this effort. Special efforts are made to improve sanitation, hygiene, ecological environment-(be it ones own home or the entire village), etc. Cultural aspects of local life are taken care of by improving the conditions of places of worship; organising cultural functions, bhajan mandalis, libraries, educational institutions, samskar kendras and the like to generate social harmony and a feeling of unity, fraternity and brotherhood. A special attempt is made to inculcate in the sevitas (those who are served) a feeling of paying "Social debts"; in some form or the other. They ( sevitas ) are encouraged to repay in cash, kind, services or resources as they deem possible. It is our gratifying experience that a good number of sevitas fulfill this expectation - by being the recipients of services through vocational training, tuition classes, sports promotion efforts, health promotion or samskar centres.

CASUAL, NEED BASED SERVICES

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and all organizations taking inspiration from it have been consistently on the fore-front in rendering their helping hand in each and every circumstance stated above, ever since their respective inceptions. Time and again they have been the first to rush to the sites of unforeseen, man-made or natural calamities and render yeomen service without any discrimination. Massive human and other resources are spontaneously mobilized, locally and nation wide to start relief operations within no time once information is received. Like a well oiled machine, immediate needs are attended to, surveys are conducted, damages are assessed and priorities in long term measures are decided systematically. No wonder then that the "Sangh people" are recognized as the most dependable and credible force by one and all. On such tragic occasions, the R.S.S. men living abroad also respond at once on their own, mobilizing funds etc. in their countries to serve the affected brethren. In addition to organizing relief and rehabilitation services in times of calamities, a host of casual ( NYMITTIK ) service-based-programmes are also organized on occasions such as fairs, melas, etc. at local, state or national levels to cater to the needs of millions of people annually. In addition, again, disease detection camps, eye camps, artificial limbs fitting campaigns are held periodically. All such services are grouped under CASUAL seva work, obviously because they are either unforeseen or else they are needed and performed on a few occasions during a year. Appreciation and accolades, though not at all expected, are showered on us even from foreigners, not to mention our own brothers and in Bharat. The history of such social service dates back to over 70 years. But a few glaring examples in recent times are given below as mere examples.

EARTH QUAKES

Earth quakes have become virtually a recurring phenomenon in our country. In the notorious earth quake of 1993 in the Latur region of Maharashtra, dozens of villages were virtually wiped off. Thousands of Swayamsevaks rushed for relief work within a few hours. These were continued for over three months. As a permanent measure, a residential high school for over 500 quake affected destitute children was started within three weeks and is being continued. A whole village is built with quake-proof technology at REBE-CHINCHOLI. It was the first village to be so built and handed over to the residents. It is now regarded as a model village. In Madhya Pradesh, the JABALPUR region was rocked by a devastating earth quake in May 1997. 555 villages and 67 wards of urban towns were affected out of which 50 villages and 19 wards suffered serious damages. Our organisations have reached all the localities and they have been rendering all types of assistance including rehabilitation of houses and people.

Similar services were rendered in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in earlier years.

FLOODS AND CYCLONES

Poorva Andhra is periodically subjected to the brutal calamities of floods, tidal waves and cyclones. In Nov. 1996, a devastating cyclone hit that region with untold fury. Millions of people were affected. Our organisations were and still are in the forefront in reaching palliative and relief services as well as in rehabilitation of the cyclone affected people. But what we did here was not just doling out food, clothes, etc. Of course that was done initially. But instead of doling out cash, what we did was to provide tools to the artisans. Thus fishing nets were provided to the fishermen, tools to the skilled artisans, coconut sapling seeds and fertilisers to the farmers so that they could start their routine occupations immediately and overcome initial shocks.

FAMINE
Certain regions of Orissa ( Utkal ) are famine prone. But the famine of 1996 - 1997 was far too wide spread and severe. Our organisations have reached relief measures in 3,800 villages of 32 blocks in 5 districts. These include distribution of food grains to over 25,000 families, milk powder to over 60,000 children, cattle feed and fodder for thousands of cattle heads. As a long term measure over 500 wells in 500 villages were dug. All this could be possible mainly because of munificent financial and material assistance from virtually all parts of our country, but mainly so through the help of BHANSALI TRUST in Mehsana, Gujarat.

FLOODS IN GUJARAT
Parts of Gujarat were severely affected by torrential rains and floods in July 1997. Karnavati city, Mehasana district in northern Gujarat and Surendranagar district of Sourashtra region of Gujarat were the main victims of these onslaughts. " Seva Bharati " Gujarath rushed to reach assistance to the flood-affected people within a few hours. Some workers footed it out for over 10 kms, risking their own lives and helped about 4,000 people trapped in floods. Food packets in thousands were supplied to them. In addition 22,000 packets of SUKHADI ( ready-made dry food ), 300 Kgs. of milk powder, 22 quintals of wheat, 4,100 Kgs of rice and pulses and 4000 pairs of clothes were supplied to the needy. All these services were rendered without discrimination of religion, caste or creed.

FAIRS AND MELAS

Needless to say, all such services are rendered purely as a social service and as an expression of love for fellow-beings. Collection of food packets and distribution to the needy are organised. It is our heartening experience that in such circumstances, help pours in from all sections of society. A vast number of people contribute labour too; none considers any task needed as below dignity. Organising relief presents special problems in times of railway accidents, floods, cyclones, earthquakes, etc. Appropriate funeral arrangements and facilities for religious rites also need to be attended to. Often the bodies will be in a highly mutilated and decomposed condition. Even such bodies and carcasses of livestock animals too are taken care of by our dedicated workers. After the operation the entire area and surroundings are scrupulously cleaned and rendered fit for re-occupation. The record of RSS workers, selfless service in such extreme circumstances is exemplary and rightly acclaimed by the public, the media and government officials. Millions of devotees congregate on auspicious occasions at various holy places in our country. Our organizations arrange free or subsidized meal packets to millions of people; provide health care services; provide potable water to visitors; regulate traffic flows, arrange living accommodations in tents and barracks . All such services are rendered as a social obligation. Food packets are supplied by local residents. Voluntary help comes from all sections of the society. No work is taken as "below dignity" by any one. Thus in times of accidents, floods, cyclones and earthquakes appropriate funeral rites of society. No work is taken as "below quakes, our swayamsevaks arranged for dignity" by any one. Thus in times of decomposed, stinking dead bodies when no one else even dared to approach the concerned places they buried the decomposed carcasses of cattle and animals. They cleaned the environment in villages and rendered the places fit for human habitation. RSS workers were on the forefront in rendering relief services in several major tragedies such as:

Bhopal poison gas tragedy. Aeroplane accidents in Haryana near Bhivani. Faridabad train accident.

One can say that our organizations have achieved the status of dependable "experts" in expeditious management of all manner of crises.

Responding to the immediate needs..........

Seva Vibhag - Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh

Param Poojaneeya late Dr. Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ( RSS ) was involved in various types of seva activities long before he founded the RSS. Param Poojaneeya Sri. Golwalkar ( Sri Guruji ), successor to Dr. Hedgewar, encouraged swayamsevaks to start seva activities as well as to work in various fields of our national life, such as labour, vanavasis, students, religion etc. A number of organizations were established to work in various fields. A senior, experienced pracharak was spared in the year 1989 to organise and co-ordinate seva work through the RSS shakhas and a Seva Vibhag was established as a part of R.S.S. work. "One upa-shakha, at least one seva karya" is the proposal of the RSS. A regular short course on seva is now included in the annual training camps of Sangh so as to expose the trainees to various dimensions of seva karya. Pracharaks and other workers are appointed at all the Kshetra ( regional ) levels, prant levels, vibhag levels, and at almost all district levels to look after the conduct and development of seva karya in their respective jurisdictions.On the eve of the birth centenary of late Param Poojaneeya Dr. Hedgewar in the year 1989, late Poojaneeya Balasaheb Deoras, the then Sarasanghachalak of the RSS, declared that the RSS would start 5,000 seva karyas in the country as a tribute to its founder. However, on account of the wide-spread network of RSS branches ( SHAKHAS ) all over the country the Seva Vibhag could surpass this number within just three years of its announcement. One of the functions of the Seva Vibhag in addition to conducting seva karyas is to coordinate the seva activities of all individuals and organisations taking inspiration from the RSS, sorting out and solving their problems, difficulties and needs, and to encourage and to provide moral, material and ideological support to them. Yet another development is the establishment of an international organization titled "SEWA INTERNATIONAL" which now has branches in many countries. Sewa International will look after the interests of seva related issues not only in the respective countries where they have chapters but also take up "GLOBAL" level care of sewa work carried out under the Sangh ideology.

VANAVASI KALYAN ASHRAM (V.K.A.)

Established in the year 1952 at an obscure, remote place Jashpur, in Madhya Pradesh, the Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram ( V.K.A ) has now expanded its activities in each and every state of our country. VKA has earned the proud distinction of operating the highest number of seva projects ( 7648 as on March 1, 1997 ) conducted by any Sangh inspired organisation in our country. They crossed the 25,000 mark by the end of 1998. Out of a total of 276 vanavasi districts, the V.K.A currently operates in 171 districts, covering 4974 places and with dependable, active contacts established in over 20,000 villages. In addition, the V.K.A. also operates in all major cities and in 43 other non-adivasi districts. It proposes to reach each of the remaining vanavasi districts in the next two years. A remarkable feature of this organisation is that nearly 50% of their full-time workers come from the vanavasi areas ( 528 out of 1115 ). Their remarkable methodology of grooming local leadership is bound to have a snow - balling effect in fulfilling all their ambitious expansion proposals. The V.K.A operates in all the Sevakarya kshetras i.e. health, education, social organisation, economic development as well as carrying out numerous casual / need-based programmes. But their major inputs are in the field of education, development of sports, re-establishing and strengthening the blurred cultural links and weaning the vanavasi away from the evil influence of foreign missionaries, anti-social, and anti-national forces etc.The impact of the selfless, untiring, all encompassing activities and programmes are now becoming manifest in all the places where the V.K.A operates. The burgeoning demand for opening V.K.A seva projects, the growing self-reliance of the Vanavasis and financial support from all over the country are indicators of V.K.As favourable impact.

Responding to the long term needs of Vanavasi...............

Vanabhandu Parishad - A success story

( Friends of Tribal Society - F.T.S )

The Vanabandhu Parishad was established in Calcutta in the year 1989. The main thrust of the Vanabandhu Parishad is on exposing various classes and groups of the nonvanavasi people to the life styles of our vanavasi brothers. People staying in urban and metropolitan conglomerates, particularly the well-to-do and middle class people, are seldom, if at all, exposed to life of the vanavasis. Not even a few of the urban people ever visit a vanavasi village, let alone stay there. But if they do so, they realise, how deplorable the conditions there are. The Vanabandhu Parishad organises planned visits to the vanavasi areas, of various groups of the urban people with their families. These groups are taken around several seva activities conducted by the Sangh inspired organisations. Once the urban people see for themselves the miserable conditions prevalent in the vanavasi areas, many of them get motivated to render a helping hand to persons and organisations that strive for the welfare of our vanavasi brothers. They mobilise resource of various types to aid such programmes. They maintain sustained liaison with these organisations. The Vanabandhu Parishad participates in organising training of the workers besides promoting and sustaining several seva activities in the vanavasi areas. The activity of F.T.S has been extended to other weaker sections of society as well. It is through the financial and other resources mobilised by the Vanabandhu Parishad that over 1100 Ekalavya Vidyalayas ( one teacher schools ) and over 275 health centres are now operated in the vanavasi areas of Bihar, Orissa, north-eastern states and West Bengal. "RAMA KATHA" programmes are being conducted on a mass scale by training our vanavasi brothers for that purpose. The concept of establishing branches of Vanabandhu Parishad in other urban and metropolitan areas is catching fast. Branches are already started in Ranchi and Mumbai (in Maharashtra). Other cities are expected to follow suit in the near future. No doubt such a mutual exchange and sharing will help integration of the vanavasi brothers in the mainstream. It will save them from falling in traps of anti-social and antinational forces, separatists tendencies and the like. It will open innumerable opportunities for our vanavasi brothers to participate meaningfully in social reconstruction and development, once such a process gathers momentum.

VISHWA HINDU PARISHAD (V.H.P.)

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad ( V.H.P ) was established in the year 1964. The V.H.P. is a religious, social and seva-based organisation. Its principal aim is to unite Hindus in Bharat and abroad, by removing age old social disparities and discrepancies in our social set-ups. It aims at wiping out differences arising out of caste, panth, language or modes of faiths, beliefs and religious practices among the Hindu society. It aims at protecting cultural values, redefining social set-up based on various castes, and actively encouraging the "home coming" back into Hindu fold of all those who happen to be separated from it on account of various reasons. At present the V.H.P operates in 693 out of 770 districts in Bharat, enrolling lakhs of active supporters thoughout Bharat. V.H.P. also operates in 18 countries abroad. In addition, 7 other countries have their own set-ups, that operate in collaboration with respective local, like-minded organisations. V.H.P operates thousands of sevakaryas in Bharat and abroad. Their programmes include securing blessings of dharmacharyas, Shankaracharyas, heads of panths, spreading Hindu religious values, performing "Dharmanushthanas" (Religious rites), operating seva / service projects etc. In addition, cow-protection, promotion of Sanskrit, upkeep and management of existing temples and building temples and places of worship, training priests and such other activities are actively pursued. The V.H.P involves the youth in their work through various organisations such as the BAJARANG DAL, DURGA VAHINI and host of other institutions. In the SEVA field the V.H.P operates sevakaryas which include 50 hostels, 9 mobile clinics, 12 hospitals, 85 tailoring schools for women, 15 technical training schools and over 1500 bala samskar kendras. Bhajan mandalis are being organised in hundreds. The V.H.P has its own publication and PRACHAR ( Propaganda ) divisions. One of the great achievements of V.H.P. is its success in bringing together not only the religious heads of various denominations ( sampradayas ) of Hindu society but also thousands of sadhus and sanyasis on a single platform called Dharmasamsad where they meet and deliberate about the several problems of Hindus in general.The follow-up activities consist of holding periodical meetings of the residents of several centres. It is heartening to note that the residents exhibit keen enthusiasm in this programme, so much so that several young residents have offered to undergo training in conducting of Havana. They then conduct Havan in their respective localities officiating as priests. Indeed, even when Havana serves as a point of entry, the over all social advantages resulting from this programme are quite significant.

VIDYA BHARATHI (V.B.)

Established in the Year 1976, Vidya Bharathi (V.B.) has today earned the distinction of being the largest single Organisation in the field of EDUCATION. Under the umbrella of V.B, over 13,500 educational institutions operate in Bharat. For administrative convenience the V.B. has been operating in Nine Zones (Kshetras) of Bharat. V.B. caters to the educational needs of tinytots, students of primary age groups, high schools, colleges and post-graduates. V.B. conducts and promotes research in education and has its own publication division which brings out valuable books, magazines and research studies. Over 60 lakhs of students are enrolled in the V.B. institutions. The major thrust of operating their educational institutions is in areas where either such facilities are not available or the existing set-ups are inadequate. Sangeet, Yoga and Sanskrit are introduced right from the primary levels; in addition to routine educational curriculum. Sports constitute an inherent component. Cultural education and discipline is inculcated not only in the students but also in the concerned families. All these have resulted in the establishment of a special IDENTITY of the educational institutions run by the V.B. V.B.s social commitment is evident from its slogan- "One vidyalaya, (at least) one seva related activity". It has been catching up at a fast pace, so much so that nearly 2500 vidyalayas have implemented it within the past 3 years! Thousands more have planned to do so in the next couple of years. No wonder then, that V.B. is now invited to participate and contribute in various state, national and international level meets, forums and conferences meant to consider policies, priorities and such other aspects related to education.

Deenadayal Research Institute (D.R.I)

The Deendayal Shodh Samsthan was founded in the year 1972. Their Head Quarters is located in Delhi. The main objective of the D.S.S. is to translate into practice the philosophy, concepts, ideas, etc. of Deendayalji to test their efficacy. Their special interest is in the development of villages, particularly those located in the backward areas or neglected areas of our country. One experiment was started in the GONDA District of Uttar Pradesh, at a village called Jayaprabhagram in the year 1978. Within just three years, the DSS transformed the picture of the area. Thousands of wells and tube-wells were dug, by using bamboo for lining rather than steel pipes. Instead of using diesel engine pumps experiments were conducted to use bullocks. This tremendously increased the area under irrigation. Scores of other programmes, in addition to agriculture were launched at Gonda, either as independent self-employment activities or as activities supplementing agricultural income. Facilities for marketing were established. The local resources were developed so that people need not depend upon cities for their day-to-day needs. Health, Education, Health camps, Eye camps, were conducted. Temples were renovated and religious programmes organised regularly. In view of the success achieved in Gonda, the DSS expanded their activities to other States. Thus they now have branches in U.P., Bihar, M.P.(Chitrakoot),Maharashtra, Vidarbha Prant, etc. A lot of activities are conducted in their Head Quarters at Delhi. They run a library, a reference section, organise work-shops on various issues of national importance, sponsor competitions for students, etc. They plan to start an Appropriate Technology Research Centre.

RASHTRA SEVIKA SAMITI

Founded by late Smt. Lakshmibai Kelkar at Wardha in the year 1936, the Rashtra Sevika Samiti is a cultural Organisation of Hindu Women. The Rashtra Sevika Samithi is committed to the cause of the glorious Hindurashtra, our motherland. The Samiti is an all India Organisation. They have over 3,500 branches in our country. Creating awareness among women regarding their cultural and social responsibilities is the principal theme of the work of the Samiti. With this aim in view the Samiti imparts training to women. The said training involves development of a woman as a whole; physically, intellectually and spiritually so that she could lead the society through operation of shakhas(Branches). It must be remembered that women constitute the very back-bone of the family. Women have to play multiple roles Annapoorna (Providing nutrition), nurse, maintaining hygiene and sanitation, taking care of ecology, bringing up children and a host of other roles simultaneously. But the most important role a woman has to play is that of a preacher of culture and way of life-Dharma & to inculcate ethical values and practices in her family. It is mainly the women who transmit the cultural values to the successive generations. The training imparted to the women through Shakhas is designed to meet all such demands and to equip the Sevikas so that they would be able to promote and practice all that is expected of them. The Samiti holds periodical shibirs (Training camps) of varying durations, from time to time, for intensive exposure of the Sevikas to various issues facing our country. But the main training is imparted in the annual training camp so as to equip the participants in such a way that they could conduct the Shakha work competently. Various functions and programmes are organised every year so as to establish and sustain social contacts on a mass scale. State level and National level conferences are held routinely for review and planning of work. The Samiti operates various seva karyas which include schools for girls, hostels for girls, hostel for children of the disabled leprosy patients, samskar kendras, vocational training centres, counselling centres, libraries, tuition classes, etc. One significant karya is to train women so that they could officiate as priests on various religious occasions and rites. It is now a common sight in a few cities in Maharashtra to see women officiating as priests. In fact they are in great demand because they conduct the

AKHIL BHARATEEYA VIDYARTHI PARISHAD (ABVP)

Established in the year 1948, the ABVP now stands as the largest students Organisation in Bharat. The membership, as in 1996, stood at 8 lakhs, with branches in all the states.The principal theme of the ABVP is, "Save Campus", meaning save educational set-ups from all types of polluting factors and maintain the sanctity of educational institutions. The ABVP focuses their programmes not only on advocacy vis--vis problems and difficulties faced by students and educational institutions, but also on all aspects related to the field of education. Their entire approach is constructive. Yet they are capable of organising large scale demonstrations and movements when need demands. However, such occasions are limited to focusing attention on matters needing urgent or long-term considerations. In view of their constructive approach the ABVP is invited to contribute in the policy decision making processes. They are invited to participate in various representative bodies, committees, commissions, conferences, etc. Their in-depth studies and well documented suggestions, critical views and recommendations receive serious consideration at all concerned levels. The ABVP conducts several programmes to promote creativity among students. These help in channelling the youthful energies of students in constructive activities; rather than getting involved in mere agitational fracas. In addition, the ABVP has been contributing their own little mite for social services. But here again their main focus is on rendering meaningful services to the youth in particular and the society in general. This facet of their orbit of activities is, at present, being implemented on a limited scale. But in view of their wide-spread organisational network, it is expected that they will be able to expand this dimension in future. National integrity through inter-state exposure, a very instructive programme of ABVP, titled "Students Experiences in Interstate Living" (SEIL) deserves special mention. Under this programme batches of students from one state, particularly from north eastern states, are invited by their counterparts in other states. The batches spend a quite a few days in the host state. They observe various activities and programmes. They visit places of historical and tourist interests. They discuss with various local and state level educational authorities. Above all, they enjoy the experience of living with local families. As an obvious out-come of this programme, feeling of unity and national integrity is cemented. Sharing experiences and views related to the issues of the youth in our country is an additional but unforgettable bonus.

Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (B.M.S.)

B.M.S. INFLUENCES GLOBAL POLICIES From 1978 to 1984 the B.M.S. leaders visited abroad as leaders of B.M.S.-as an Organisation. But in 1984 the B.M.S. became the Second largest labour Organisation in B ha rat. It became imperative for the Central Govt, of India to include the representatives of the B.M.S. as constituents of National Delegations visiting abroad. Thereafter the B.M.S. leaders visited China, America, Sweden, Canada. Malesia and a host of other nations. The B.M.S. leaders succeeded not only in deeply impressing their hosts but also left enough food for thought for their counterparts in foreign lands. For example Sri. Dattopant ThengdTs message to the Chinese-people, sent alter his visit to China, was broadcast all over China. The B.M.S. sponsored proposal that all central labour organisations should not work under any political Organisation but should work as non-political bodies was approved at the World Federation of Trade Unions held in Moscow, Russia, in Nov. 1990.

The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (B.M.S.) was established in the year 1955. The B.M.S. has now

ACQUIRED THE STATUS OF THE

LARGEST LABOUR ORGANISATION

IN OUR

COUNTRY. THIS IS A NON-POLITICAL ORGANISATION DEVOTED FOR THE WELFARE OF THE WORKERS AND THE INDUSTRY IN THE COUNTRY. THE PRINCIPAL CREED OF THE B.M.S. IS DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: A. Industrialise B. Labourise

the Nation.

the industries.

c. Nationalise the industrial human resources.

These clearly explain that the BMS is not just a Trade Union like others. They consider the working force as a constituent of the integral whole of our Nation and National ethos. That is why they adopted the saffron flag, a colour which indicates sacrifice and purity of heart. They celebrate the "Vishwakarma Din" as a National Labour Day. The spirit of nationalism, "swadeshi", etc. can only be inculcated by drawing inspiration from our rich cultural roots, rather than through aping western models of Trade Unionism. It is this solid ideological foundation that has enabled B.M.S. to reach the top position they now occupy. The B.M.S. conducts indepth studies in the role of industry in National Development. Review of Trade Union and labour related Laws/Acts are conducted periodically. Workers Training camps are routinely held separately for each type of industry, etc. These are held Cadre-wise, State wise and at National levels. The B.M.S. has started seva activities recently for the non-organised labour population such as road-side workers, beedi workers, etc. They also organise training camps for N.G.O's. It is hoped that they will expand these seva activities in due course of time.

IMPACT OF SEVAKARYA

It must be admitted that responses concerning inquiries on impact were understandably guarded and even non-committal, particularly so from the centres started during the past few years. In fact many centres felt shy in responding at all. On the basis of data received, the responses exhibit mainly the experiences & perceptions of our workers. They vary from Prant to Prant. There is a direct relationship with the character of the concerned Samstha. This is obvious because the principal fields of activities (Geographical & Social), main thrusts & the programmes they operate are not identical. Even so, an attempt is made to present below, a few significant aspects of impact (a) Prant-wise & (b) Samstha -wise. I. Gradual favourable social transformation: a) Prants: We analysed 787 reports in this regard. Different Prants have been experiencing such transformation in varying degrees and depth. But significantly, desired social transformation does not so much depend upon the no. of years for which sevakarya is being conducted but mainly on the samstha conducting it, its image, the human resources developed by it & the overall IMAGE of the concerned samstha. 14 Prants have reported perceptions of significant social transformation. They are Uttar Assam, Bengal, Dakshin Bihar, Utkal, Chattisgad, Madhya Bharat, Mahakoshal, Maharashtra, Vidarbha, Dakshin Karnataka, Delhi, Haryana, Himgiri, Jaipur. The other Prants do notice such transformation to a little lesser degree & depth. b) Samsthas : Rashtreeya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram(VKA), Vishwa Hindu Parishad(VHP) & Vidya Bharati (VB) have reported significant success in this regard. The reasons are obvious. The four samsthas have wide-spread organisational net-work all over the country & are conducting Sevakarya on a large scale each. The other samsthas though having wide-spread net-works are relatively recent entrants in the field of Sevakarya. However, they too have reported on social transformation wherever they operate sevakaryas. II Reduction in untouchability & "social distances": Every Prant has reported that in the places where they operate Sevakarya they have been experiencing this agreeable change. The hitherto isolated groups are now mixing freely with other groups, without inhibitions, social barriers and the like. In other words "Samajik Samarasata" - feeling of "social oneness is being achieved through sevakarya leading to social harmony. Significant achievements in this respect are reported by the Seva Vibhag RSS, VKA,VHP & VB though other samsthas are not far behind. III. Demand generation It is expected that we conduct sevakaryas, no matter on whatever the size, we do with efficiency, expertise & use the skills that people concerned experience its usefulness to meet the needs. The credibility of the projects is a common feature . But it is also expected that information & knowledge about Seva work reaches other neighbouring communities( where projects are not operated). As a result we expect that impressive sevakaryas must be generating an urge in the minds of the people in other communities to start similar sevakaryas. This is what is meant by "Demand Generation",. The findings in this regard are as follows: a) Prants: Such requests are being received (on an increasing scale) by each Prant. We analysed 787 reports. Favourable responses vary from 32 in Mahakoshal to over 140 each in Utkal and Maharashtra; the other prants fall in this range. b) Samsthas: All Matrusamsthas have reported that such "demands" are being received from other communities on an increasing scale. For example out of the 787 reports analysed we found:- RSS - 409, VHP - 142, VKA - 95, VB - 67, R.S. Samiti - 43, ABVP - 13, out of 13, B.V.P - 18 : Total - 787. Whether they can fulfill all such "demands" will depend upon how soon they are able to mobilise all required of resources. IV. Increased participation of women in sevakaryas : In view of women in Bharat coming to the fore in several walks of life, it is but logical to expect increasing participation of women in our sevakarya too. Our analysis however reveals that we have yet to go a long way in this regard. Albeit some progress is evident in four Prants vis-a-vis increasing participation of women in sevakaryas. viz. Dakshin

Karnataka 35%, Tamilnadu 20%, Meerut & Dakshin Bihar11%, each. In the rest of the Prants favourable responses vary from 1% to 9% (most of them falling in the range 3% to 7%). As noticed before the four Samsthas viz RSS 35%, VKA 46%, VHP 10% and VB 15% have achieved some tangible success in involving women in sevakarya. V. Increased participation of men in sevakarya Here again, the picture is not much different from that in relation to increased participation of women. However, the ranges in all Prants are slightly on lower corresponding levels. For instance most Prants fall in the range 2% to 7%, increase with Dakshin Karnataka 53%, Tamilnadu 27%, Utkal 12%, Dakshin Bihar & Meerut accounting for 11% each. The four organisations viz. RSS 67% , VKA 53%, VHP 12% & VB 10% have succeeded in enlisting increased co-operation of Men. It is because many more RSS Shakhas (Branches) are taking to sevakarya. An additional reason is that several persons, retiring from active bread-earning phase of life are joining sevakaryas. Such "Retired - but not tired" persons are called VANAPRASTHEES the term used in our ancient texts. VI. Attaining self sustenance : We could analyse only 418 reports in this regard. They represent less than half the Prants. Hence we cannot pass any opinion on general trends in this regard. Sevakaryas reporting on self sustenance are as follows: RSS- 348, R.S.Samiti - 33, B.V.P.- 20, ABVP - 12 & VKA - 5 These figures do not represent the OVERALL picture of the Samsthas listed above. They indicate position obtained in those many particular centres only. Samsthas as a whole have different status about self reliance/sustenance, which we are not in a position to calibrate on account of constraints of space. VII. Increased attention to fulfilment of basic needs of the population It is a fact that sevakarya centres operate one or a few programmes such as Balsamskar, Khelkood, Bhajan Mandali, Shishu Mandir, Health centre, etc. in a place. In several sevakarya centres, may be, only a single seva based programme is operated. Nevertheless, Seva workers are expected to be aware of the various needs, problems and difficulties faced by the people of the concerned localities (places) where they operate sevakaryas. The "YES" responses received in this regard were in percentages of various places in different Prants. They ranged from 3% to 11%, but majority of them in the range 4% to 8%. The Samsthas reporting "Yes" in response are: RSS - 37%,VHP - 9%,VKA - 42% VB - 10%. VIII. Increased attention to problems of women, children, disabled & leprosy patients A majority of centres have reported "N.A" (Not applicable in the context of their work), in response to this query. Yet Prants stated below have sent in "yes" responses:Dakshin Bihar, Chatisgad, Utkal, Punjab, Delhi, Tamilnadu, Dakshin Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Uttar Karnataka, RSS-68, VKA-59,VHP-17 & VB-10 represent the no. of sevakarya centres taking a lead in these problems. In conclusion: Social workers are aware that knowledge comes with experience. But wisdom is expressed through changes in Attitudes, Practices & Behaviour . Social thinkers acknowledge that there are no short-cuts or by-passes for achieving long-lasting social reforms, re-construction or transformations. There are no substitutes for tireless, sustained, patient, persuasive, selfless approach. Since workers groomed & inspired by the Ideology of the RSS are willing to pay full price in terms of efforts & devotion nothing stops them from achieving their ultimate aim.
