The youth power which desires to do something for the country and society was provided a platform for their discussions, interactions through this program. Online registrations were evoked through social media. In response 3852 youths participated from Karnataka Dakshin Prant in this two day’s program.

The overall planning of the program can be described as ‘Theme for Team and Team for Theme’ (‘Samuha hetu Sankalpana’ aur ‘Sankalpana hetu Samuha’). The result was that 77 youths aspired to dedicate themselves for one year in the service of the nation.
This programme made us realize that the youths are ready to dedicate their services, time, energy and intellect for the welfare of the society if proper planning, guidance is provided. This experiment of Karnataka Dakshin is worth emulating.

The success of the sammelan indicates the acceptance of the Sangh work by the society. The program of dialogue with the distinguished personalities of Imphal was also successful.
This year short time vistarak scheme was planned. Total 38 vistarak gave their time. As a result including 18 new places total 38 shakhas were started.
National Scenario:-
In the programmes conducted by various forums and organisations the cooperation and participation of the Hindu Samaaj was very inspiring last year.
The participation of the Social, Religious organisations in the ‘Hindu Spiritual & Service Fair’ organised at Chennai was significant. In this weeklong festival the attendance of school and college students along with the enthusiastic response from the public was indescribable. Nearly 8 lakh people visited the venue during this period. 232 religious and community institutions presented information about their work. From 11-12 Prants karyakartas had come to observe the fair. The pattern of the event was very effective and fascinating. The idea is to hold such fairs in other Prantas of the nation in the coming days. The fair generates the confidence that in the social, educational, spiritual and seva kshetra the role of the Hindu organisations is effective.
On the banks of the river Narmada at Maheshwar in the Malwa Prant ‘Ma Narmada Hindu Sangam’ was successfully organised in the presence of P. P. Sarsanghachalakji. The participation of the villagers in the ‘Dharma Raksha Samiti’ formed in every village; the participation of sisters and mothers in the kalash yatras taken out before the programme and establishment of extensive contacts in 5 lakh families in villages was really unprecedented. The presence of nearly 1 lakh 35 thousand brothers & sisters and more than 150 saints in the sangam indicates the acceptance of the Hindu views.
Likewise, programmes such as the Nadi Utsav (River Festival) in Madhyapradesh on the bank of Narmada river, the vanvasi sammelan in Tharu Uttarakhand which have evoked great inspiration deserve special mention.
Effect of Nationalist Views in the Political Field
In the Loksabha elections conducted in May 2014 the people of Bharat have shown their political maturity. In this election people have voted for a stable and well ordered government. This is the first time that the society has expressed its faith by bringing to power a political party inspired by Bharatiya thought & ideology. After many years a team committed to the Bharatiya philosophy is at the centre of decision making. There is a natural expectation that with the cooperation of the policy makers, thinkers and experts and with balanced thinking, time consistent plans should be made and implemented.
Along with the fulfilment of desires and aspirations of the common man the country expects national security, self respect, sovereignty from the newly formed government. There is a need to define the concept of development in the light of the reflections of the great Bharatiya thinkers-sages as well as Bharatiya lifestyle and values. The foremost priority should be on rural life, culture, needs and aspirations of the schedule castes-tribes.
The Bharatiya Philosophy, traditions, moral values and rich culture have always steered and guided the world. The citizens expect the present government to represent the distinguishing features of Bharat on the world platform.
A new Government in the state has been formed after the recently conducted elections in Jammu and Kashmir but in his statement, the Chief Minister of the State, Mufti Muhammad Sayed gave the credit of the peaceful elections to the terrorists, Hurriyat Conference and Pakistan. This statement is undesirable in all respects. The credit of peaceful elections in Jammu-Kashmir should be given only to the peace loving citizens of the state, political parties, the defence and security forces, administrative officers and the election commission.
The reputation of Bharat should rise in this competitive world. It is a challenge that Bharat which has set the example of sustainable development presents itself before the world in the current scenario. It is essential that we extend friendly relations with our neighbouring countries for the peace of the region. We also expect a positive cooperative dialogue from our neighbour countries. Faith is the basis of friendship. The people of Indian Origin, staying abroad in various countries are feeling proud of the role of effective leadership of the present government. The nation expects the government to understand the public expectations, feelings, and sensitivity and work accordingly. The people also understand the limitations of the Government.
The efforts of the government on the issues of Swachhata Abhiyan (Cleanliness Campaign), Ganga Suraksha (Protection of Ganga) are definitely laudable. Only with the cooperation of the public such issues can be resolved. The whole country is welcoming and appreciating all such efforts being taken in the right direction.
The aggrieved antinational forces are making an issue of unnecessary things and trying to pollute the atmosphere of the country. The people of Bharat should remain aware in this context. All nationalist forces should join hands to take the initiative in this direction.
Conclusion:-
Today we are experiencing an encouraging response all over the nation. The faith in Sangha karya and Hindutva thinking is increasing. Naturally this is a favourable time for the expansion of our work also. If everything is diligently planned now, then we would experience better results in the near future. Let us move ahead with resolution and determination establishing the impact of our thinking in all walks of life and present the creative power of our society to the world.

Resolution-1: Welcoming the International Yoga Day
The proclamation by the 69th General Assembly of United Nations to observe June 21st of every year as the International Yoga Day gives countless cheers and immense pride to all the Bharatiyas, people of Bhartiya origin and millions of Yoga practioners across the globe. It becomes all the more delighting that the proposal for an International Yoga Day moved by the Honourable Prime Minister of Bharat in his UNGA speech on 27th September 2014 received an unprecedented response. Nepal supported it immediately and 175 member states co-sponsored the resolution which was adopted within a short span of less than three months on 11th December 2014, by consensus without vote.
The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha wishes to draw the attention to the fact that Yoga is Bharat’s civilizational contribution to the world. Derived from the root ‘Yuj’ – meaning union and samadhi, Yoga is not limited to physical exercise but is essentially a holistic way of life leading to the union of body mind, intellect and soul as envisaged by sages like Maharshi Patanjali. It is verily described in scriptures as cessation of fluctuation of mind (Yogashchittavrittinirodhah), means for calming the mind ( Manah Prashamanopayah Yogah ) and equanimity (Samatvam Yoga Uchyate) and leads one to peaceful and healthy life. Today growing number of people, be it common masses, celebrities, entrepreneurs and statesmen of different cultures across the world are adopting Yoga as a way of a balanced lifestyle tuned with nature. The ABPS notes with gratitude the contribution of scores of Saints, Yogacharyas and Yoga trainers in espousing the cause of Yoga all around the world. It is the duty of all the Yoga followers to further spread this message of Yoga far and wide across the continents.
The ABPS compliments all those who facilitated the adoption of this historic resolution; Bharatiya diplomats, member states co-sponsoring and speaking in favour of it and the UN officials. It earnestly believes that the observance of Yoga Day and adopting Yoga based integral living will lead the world to a genuine environment of universal oneness and harmony.
The ABPS urges the union and state governments to carry forward this initiative by introducing Yoga as a part of curriculum in education, supporting research in Yoga and make all possible efforts for promoting Yoga in social life.
The Pratinidhi Sabha appeals to all the countrymen including swayamsevaks, people of Bharatiya origin and Yoga followers to endeavor earnestly for spreading Yoga to make the globe happy, healthy and sustainable.
Nagpur March 15: RSS today strongly urged the government to take care of Hindus who are migrating to India from other countries.
“Government should take care of migrated Hindus by all means; those are facing problems outside India.” said RSS Sarakaryavah Suresh Bhaiyaji Joshi to Press reporters here in Nagpur on Sunday noon.

RSS Sarakaryavah Bhaiyyaji Joshi addressing the Press Conference March 15-2015 Nagpur ABPS Meet
“There is only country India for Hindus all over the world. If helpless Hindus are coming to India, Government should help and give all facilities to them including security”, he added.
Addressing on Ram Temple issue, Bhaiyyaji pointed out that, Ram Mandir should be built at the earliest. But, the matter is under jurisdiction of Supreme Court and the result is yet to come. Therefore, there is no point in taking any movement in this connection immediately. We have to honor judiciary.
“We believe that Hinduism is the lifestyle. Whatever may be the worship method, everyone should accept Indian culture, tradition and thoughts. There will be no compromise with the values of our culture”, Joshi asserted.
About Narendra Modi government he said that, the change in government is sign of political change. Various RSS related organizations have their own voice; the comments of various units are not attack on Modi government. With discussion those problem can be sort out.
On the “Goraksha” issue Bhaiyyaji said, RSS stand is clear and we are firm on our stand. There should be security for Gowansh. Government should make strict law and it should be implemented strictly. Whatever may be the government, we can’t change our view in this regard.
About the RSS organization he said that, our vision is so long as far as our reach is concerned. As on date our presence is in 54000 villages, where as we have to reach 6.5 lakh villages. We are moving towards goal systematically. We are continuously working towards reaching new places at the earliest.
We have started new initiative called “Join RSS” through rss.org, the RSS web portal and we are getting tremendous response. There are around 3000 new joining requests every month to RSS for various activities. We are getting response from all class of society, he added.
“Hindutva is a way of life. Anyone has the freedom to adopt any way of worship. But it should not be anti-national ” Bhaiyyaji said. “If any Hindu who is suffering from social problems comes to our country, then it will be the duty (Dharma) of the country to welcome him respectfully” added Bhaiyyaji Joshi.
Dr Manmohan Vaidya, RSS Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh was present during the press conference.
Nagpur March 15, 2015: RSS today passed Second a major resolution on the concluding day of on going RSS 3-day annual meeting ofAkhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), highest body for policy formulation and decision making of Rashtreeya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at Reshimbagh of Nagpur.
RSS Resolution-2:
RSS Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha is fully supportive of study of various languages including foreign languages but it is its considered opinion that for natural learning and to enrich cultural moorings, the education, particularly elementary education should be in mother language or in state languages recognised in our Constitution.
Language is not only the medium of communication but it is also a carrier of culture and value system. Bharat is a multilingual country. All the Bharatiya languages equally reflect national and cultural pride of our country. Although it is a merit to be multilingual but it is scientifically expedient to impart education in mother language for developing the personality. A student educated in mother language can easily grasp other languages as well. A person having elementary education in a foreign language, gets alienated from his surroundings, traditions, culture and values of life, at the same time one also loses his identity, remaining ignorant of ancient knowledge, science and literature.
Eminent thinkers like Mahamana Madanmohan Malaviya, Mahatma Gandhi, Ravindranath Thakur, Sri Maa, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan and scientists like Chandrashekhar Venkat Raman, Prafulla Chandra Ray, Jagdish Chandra Basu and several prominent educationists and psychologists have opined that it would be both, natural and scientific to impart education in mother language. Various commissions constituted from time to time such as Radhakrishnan Commission, Kothari Commission etc. have also recommended for imparting education in mother language. Taking note of the significance of mother language, the United Nations also decided to observe 21st February as Mother Language Day for whole of the world.
ABPS calls upon the countrymen, including swayamsevaks to play an effective role to establish the dignity of the mother language in education, day-to-day working and public affairs to achieve all-round development, national integrity and pride. In this regard, family has an important role. Parents should have a firm resolve to impart elementary education to their children in their own language.
ABPS calls upon the Union Government and State Governments to review their present language policies and ensure effective system to impart education in mother language or in constitutionally recognised state languages and simultaneously take initiative for use of Bharatiya languages in education, administration and delivery of justice.

BENGALURU March 17, 2015: Karnataka’s upright IAS officer DK Ravikumar, a 2009 batch IAS officer who was deputed as the Joint Commissioner, State Commercial Taxes Department, was found dead mysteriously at his private apartment near Koramangala in South Bengaluru on March 16, Monday.
DK Ravi, known for his pro-people honest works, who had become extremely popular as the deputy commissioner of Kolar district for his work in ridding encroachments and other “honest” works, was recently transferred to become the joint commissioner of the commercial taxes department. Over the last one month, Mr Ravi had taken some hard decisions about big builders. There were also reports that despite his transfer, he was getting threat calls from the sand mafia, whom he had taken on as the District Commissioner of Kolar district. He was also instrumental in clearing encroachments on government land.
RSS expressed deep condolences on the death of Karnataka’s upright IAS officer DK Ravi. RSS Kshetreeya Sanghachalak V Nagaraj in his condolence message said “It was a shocking news. Sri DK Ravi was a upright IAS officer. The entire state is proud of his honest service. We express deep condolences on the demise of Sri DK Ravi. We expect a clear and impartial inquiry on the mysterious death of IAS officer Sri DK Ravi”.
DK Ravi, IAS
In October 2014, Ravi’s transfer from Kolar district had triggered public protests. The 36-year-old Ravi was recently transferred to the state’s commercial tax office here from Kolar where he was the deputy commissioner. Born on June 10, 1979, DK Ravi became an IAS officer in 2009.

Bengaluru/Thiruvananthapuram March 18: Printing of “Crescent and Star,’’ which is associated with Islam and part of the flag of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), in question papers in Kerala has evoked protest from various quarters. Congress ally IUML is handling the education department in the state.
Muslim League symbol in Kerala Question Papers
The crescent and star had appeared in the first and last pages of Social Science question paper (English medium) for the 10th class examination, conducted by the state examination board, which was held on Monday. The symbols, associated with religion, have replaced the full stop mark or blameless symbols such as circles given at the end of the question paper.
CPI (M)-affiliated Kerala State Teachers Association general secretary T Thilakraj said the incident was part of a conspiracy of the IUML to Islamize even the question paper. BJP’s youth wing Yuva Morcha also protested against the bid to give “Muslim touch’’ for the question paper. They laid a siege to the office of the Director of Public Instruction.
Hindu Aikya Vedi Chief Kummanam Rajashekharan condemned the incident, In his tweet, Kummanam said, “Shocked to saw the Muslim League flag symbol in the today’s exam question paper Kerala govt is communalising the education system”
However, IUML leader and education minister P K Abdurabb said the crescent and the star was printed in a few question papers for the 10th class, including the Social Science, not at the behest of the department. “The symbol indicating the end of the question paper was taken up by the printing press. The Education department was not involved in that selection. That particular press would be blacklisted,’’ said the minister.
In the last four years, the education department had landed in similar embarrassing situations. An officer with the educational department had asked ordered that women appearing for the minister’s programme should wear saree with green border. As the green is the colour of the flag of IUML, the directive became controversial and was withdrawn later. 
Hindu Aikya Vedi staged massive protest condemning the communalisation of Kerala’s education system.
