The meeting will be attended by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Sarkaryavah Bhaiyaji Joshi, members of central executive body of the Sangh and around 1,500 delegates from across the country.

“The meeting will review its programmes over the last six months and evaluate organisational works. Programmes for the next six months would also be chalked out,” said RSS spokesperson Rajiv Tuli.

He said a resolution on the contemporary situation of the country is also likely to be adopted after discussions.
State representatives of the RSS, heads of various bodies and other functionaries are due to attend the meeting that will conclude on March 10.

Bhagwat along with Joshi reached Gwalior on Sunday to take part in the event which would be held at Saraswati Shishu Mandir, Kedardham.

The meeting assumes significance as it comes amid tension between India and Pakistan that escalated after both the countries engaged in aerial hostilities along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time since 1971. This happened in the wake of February 14 Pulwama terror attack that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force troopers in Kashmir.
