Senior RSS functionaries including the organisation's chief Mohan Bhagwat and general secretary Bhaiyyaji Joshi will attend the meeting, which is aimed at discussion and review of organisational activities and issues, an RSS release said here.

Bhagwat and Joshi will be in Somnath from July 12 to July 18 to hold discussions with other RSS leaders before and after the pracharak meet, the release said.
