The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is set to undertake significant changes to its organisational structure following its Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal meeting, with a proposed restructuring aimed at decentralising its functioning and strengthening coordination at different levels.

According to the sources, under the proposed changes, the number of regions will be reduced from the existing 11 to 9, while the current 46 provincial units will be reorganised into approximately 90 divisions (Sambhag).

The Sangh is also set to introduce state-level organisational units for the first time. Under the proposed framework, the state units will comprise only the state Pracharak and state Karyavah. There will be no state Sanghchalak under this arrangement. Until now, the RSS organisational structure did not have a separate state-level unit.

Changes are also proposed in the frequency and venue of meetings of the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the Sanghs highest decision-making body. Instead of being held annually, the meeting will take place once every three years in Nagpur. Meanwhile, meetings at the regional level will be organised once every two years.

The proposed restructuring is aimed at decentralising the Sanghs organisational functioning, distributing responsibilities more effectively and improving coordination at the grassroots level. The creation of a larger number of divisions is expected to facilitate more efficient management of organisational activities and strengthen the implementation of programmes across different regions.

The changes, once implemented, will mark a significant reorganisation of the RSSs administrative and organisational framework, introducing a new structure for coordination across regions, divisions and state-level units.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will hold its annual Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal (ABKM) meeting in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, from November 2 to 4, with the three-day deliberations expected to focus on organisational restructuring, a review of centenary-year activities and key contemporary national and international issues.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale, all six Sah-Sarkaryavahs, heads of various all-India departments and members of the organisations executive body will participate in the meeting. (ANI)
