“To become a fully realized human being—aware, compassionate, and dedicated to the greater good—we must embrace discipline and unity,” he urged.
His words resonated deeply with the audience, reinforcing the importance of moral development in shaping a cohesive society.
RSS Tripura’s Commitment to Holistic Development
The Sangh Shiksha Varg is a cornerstone of RSS Tripura’s efforts to build responsible, value-driven leaders. The 2025 edition combined physical drills, ideological sessions, yoga, cultural programs, and community service, offering participants a holistic training experience.
This multifaceted approach aims to cultivate both physical strength and intellectual clarity, preparing volunteers to contribute meaningfully to society.
The camp attracted a wide cross-section of participants, reflecting the RSS’s broad outreach in Tripura.

A Century of Service: RSS’s Legacy and Future Goals
Ashok Biswas, RSS Tripura’s State Ideological Head (Prant Bouddhik Pramukh), delivered the main address, tracing the organization’s 100-year journey since its founding by Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in 1925.
Biswas highlighted the RSS’s grassroots efforts through daily shakhas (local gatherings) to instill character, patriotism, and a commitment to selfless service.
Paying tribute to Hedgewar’s vision, Biswas recounted the early struggles and foundational aims of the RSS.
He also celebrated the contributions of Eknath Ranade, a legendary RSS pracharak (full-time worker), whose tireless efforts led to the creation of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari—a symbol of India’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
Biswas also shed light on the work of the Sangh Parivar, the RSS’s network of sister organizations. These groups operate in diverse sectors, including education, healthcare, rural development, and disaster response, offering a comprehensive model of social engagement.
“The Sangh Parivar’s collective efforts demonstrate how disciplined, value-driven work can transform communities,” Biswas noted.
