Former President Ram Nath Kovind, who will be the chief guest at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) Vijayadashmi event, arrived in Nagpur on Wednesday.
Upon his arrival, Kovind visited Deekshabhoomi, the site where social reformer and chief architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, embraced Buddhism in 1956. He offered his prayers at this significant location.
Kovind is scheduled to attend the Vijayadashmi rally of the RSS on Thursday as the chief guest. This year’s occasion is particularly special as it marks the centenary year celebrations of the Sangh.
The RSS was founded by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar on Vijayadashmi in 1925. To commemorate its 100 years, the organization has planned a series of programs across the country, including more than one lakh ‘Hindu Sammelans’.
The centenary celebrations will officially begin with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s annual Vijayadashmi address at the organization’s headquarters in Nagpur on October 2.
