Chennai, Nov 8 (IANS) Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson ANS Prasad said the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s ongoing “door-to-door outreach” campaign has received “overwhelming warmth and appreciation from the people”, marking a major success in the organisation’s centenary celebrations.
“Across Tamil Nadu, people are recognizing the Sangh’s 100 years of selfless service, social harmony and patriotism despite decades of political misrepresentation,” Prasad said. He said the campaign has achieved strong public participation in every district.
The ‘door-to-door outreach’ campaign, which began on November 2 as part of the RSS’s nationwide centenary programme, will continue till November 23.
Volunteers and members of more than 40 Sangh Parivar organisations, including the BJP, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and Hindu Munnani, are visiting homes to share the organisation’s legacy of nation-building, discipline and humanitarian service.
Each family is being given a centenary brochure which highlights the major contributions of the Sangh to the society.
With the centenary year starting from Vijayadashami day (2 October), the campaign has seen enthusiastic participation across Tamil Nadu.
BJP leaders and workers are expected to lead a massive outreach campaign in Chennai and other major cities on Sunday.
In October, RSS volunteers took out massive processions in various towns and cities across the state.
More than a lakh people – half in uniform and half in regular attire – joined these marches, reflecting the deep roots and public engagement of the Sangh.
Recalling the role of the RSS during key moments in India’s history – from relief work during the 1947 partition and resistance during the Emergency to its role in the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and the construction of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari – the leaders described the centenary year as a “renewal of service to the nation”.
Prasad alleged that the Tamil Nadu government had attempted to obstruct the peaceful programs of the RSS by denying permission and detaining volunteers.
“Despite these obstacles, our campaign continues with the blessings of the people,” he said.
The centenary celebrations will run till Vijayadashami 2026, including outreach programmes, service initiatives and cultural programmes, reaffirming the guiding principle of the RSS – ‘Nation First’.
