On the occasion of the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a specially designed postage stamp and a memorial coin of Rs 100 at a ceremony held at Dr. Ambedkar International Center in Delhi.
The RSS was established in 1925 by Keshav Baliram Hedgver in Nagpur. He is known for volunteer-based social and service works. The organization has made significant contribution in areas like education, health, disaster relief and social service. Published postage stamps and monuments are a symbol of these contributions and honor the services of the organization.
On one occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that this postage stamp has its own special importance. He reminded that in 1963 the RSS volunteers attended the Republic Day Parade on 26 January and had to tune the patriotism. PM Modi further said that this postage stamp cherishes the memory of the same historical moment. Also, it also has a glimpse of those volunteers of the Sangh, who are constantly engaged in the service of the country and are strengthening the society.

PM Modi said that there is a national mark on the coin on one side and on the other hand there is a grand image of Bharat Mata in Varad Mudra with Singh, in front of which the volunteers of the Sangh are seen paying obeisance with dedication. PM Modi mentioned that this is the first time that a picture of Bharat Mata has been marked on Indian currency. The realization sentence of the Sangh is also written on the coin- “Rashtraya Swaha, Idan Rashtraya Idan Mam”

PM Modi’s message towards Sangh
The Prime Minister said that several attempts were made to stop the Sangh from getting into the mainstream, Guruji was sent to jail in false cases, but the Sangh never adopted bitterness. The volunteers of the Sangh are not different from the society, they are part of the society and they always maintained faith in democracy and constitutional institutions. PM Modi said that despite many challenging circumstances of the society, the Sangh is still adamant like a Virat Vat tree.
