Madhya Pradesh: Bhagwat to address training session of RSS musical bands

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived here on Saturday on a two-day visit to take part in the concluding event of the training session of the organisation's musical bands.

An RSS functionary said Bhagwat is scheduled to address the concluding function, a closed-door event, of the 21-day training session titled Akhil Bharatiya Ghosh Prashikshan Varg.

The RSS' bands are similar to police ones and strike up music using drums, trumpets, bugles and other instruments to accompany the organisation's marches and drills.

The functionary said around 125 master trainers of RSS bands, drawn from different parts of the country, are participating in the session being held at Bharat Bharti Residential School run by Sangh outfit Vidhya Bharti.

The session is underway at the school located in Jamthi village, around 8 km from the district headquarters here, he said.

Bhagwat, who arrived here by train, is scheduled to leave for the Sangh headquarters in Nagpur on Sunday afternoon by road, the functionary said.
