RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat today asked the 'Shakhas', the Sangh fountainhead's smallest units and the backbone of the organisation, to help bring about a change in the society by engaging more in social work.
Bhagwat said while continuing to strengthen themselves, the Shakhas should engage with other Hindu organisations to start ventures that are beneficial for the society, Bhagwati Prasad, head of RSS' Rajasthan unit told reporters after a meeting addressed by their chief.
Prasad said Bhagwat suggested that the Shakhas should open family counselling centres, and hold organic farming, water conservation, plantation and health awareness camps.
He also emphasised on skill development of RSS volunteers who attend the Shakhas.
