####RSS Celebrates Varsh Pratipada in Udaipur with Call for Social Awakening through ‘Panch Parivartan’

Udaipur — The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) marked the traditional New Year festival Varsh Pratipada with great enthusiasm across Udaipur, showcasing discipline, cultural pride, and a strong sense of nationalism.

This year, the celebrations were uniquely decentralized. Udaipur, recognized as a “Mahanagar” in RSS structure, was divided into 11 units—9 urban and 2 rural segments—with each unit hosting its own कार्यक्रम. This approach ensured deeper grassroots participation and wider community engagement.

Events were organized across Madhav Nagar, Keshav Nagar, Samarth Guru Nagar, Harit Nagar, Bappa Rawal Nagar, Chhatrapati Shivaji Nagar, Vivekananda Nagar, Savarkar Nagar, Ramakrishna Nagar, along with Ekling and Jhameshwar rural divisions. Each venue witnessed the presence of swayamsevaks, citizens, and a significant participation of women.

Speakers highlighted the scientific and cultural significance of the Indian calendar system, emphasizing that Varsh Pratipada is not just a New Year, but a symbol of India’s civilizational identity and heritage. Regional Seva Pramukh Shivlahari elaborated on the precision and nature-based foundation of the traditional calendar.

At Samarth Guru Nagar, Kshetra Pracharak Pramukh Shrivardhan stressed that while national borders are safeguarded by the armed forces, the responsibility of preserving social harmony and cultural values lies with society itself. He called for unity, awareness, and organizational strength among citizens.

Sah Prant Pracharak Dr. Dharmendra Singh reflected on the legacy of K. B. Hedgewar, noting that the organization has completed 100 years and that the world today looks toward India with hope. He urged people to adopt the concept of “Panch Parivartan” (Five Transformations) for societal awakening—fostering cultural pride, social harmony, environmental protection, family values, and civic responsibility.

Several dignitaries, including Nagar Sanghchalak Pawan and Vibhag Sanghchalak Hemendra Shrimali, graced the events. Programs featured intellectual sessions, physical drills, and musical performances by the ‘Ghosh’ band, which played traditional compositions during flag hoisting and ceremonial moments.

The celebrations concluded with prayers, patriotic renditions, and symbolic Rangoli displays based on the five resolutions, leaving behind a strong message of unity, discipline, and cultural resurgence.
