Belagavi, Karnataka – The RSS’s annual All‑India provincial propaganda conclave concluded on Sunday after a packed three‑day schedule. Under the guidance of national propaganda chief Sunil Ambecker, the meeting featured senior figures such as chief executive Dr. Mohan Bhagwat and senior volunteer Dattatreya Hosabale, with a total attendance of 226 activists.

The agenda highlighted a comprehensive review of the training sessions rolled out since March 2026.

The leadership explored strategies to activate the network formed during centenary events for broader social initiatives and "pancha" transformation drives. The chief executive’s travel blueprint for 2026‑27 was also examined.

Additional topics included a briefing on the latest census data, underscoring demographic imbalances and the challenges they pose. Growing concerns over drug abuse were raised, with a consensus on the need for intensified de‑addiction measures. Preparations for the 650th birth anniversary of Sant Shri Ravidas Maharaj were outlined.

Participants lamented the irregularities discovered in the donation‑box count at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple and expressed trust that the Special Investigation Team and police, prompted by the Tirath Kshetra Trust, are nearing a decisive resolution. The Trust was requested to ensure that future incidents do not compromise the faith of Ram devotees.
