Gorakhpur: Asserting that women are taking on an increasingly pivotal role in the country's progress, Rashtriya Sevika Samiti (RSS) Kshetra Prachaarika Shashi on Tuesday said that daughters today are actively contributing to both the protection and development of the nation.
She was addressing participants at a 15-day training camp being conducted by the Samiti for women hailing from 25 districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Over 300 uniformed Sevikas took part in a spirited path sanchalan (route march) on Tuesday evening, beginning from Mahatma Gandhi Inter College and passing through key city landmarks including Town Hall, Kachahari Chowk, Golghar, and Bank Road. The march drew widespread support, with citizens and social organizations showering flower petals and chanting slogans such as "Bharat Mata Ki Jai."
In her address prior to the event, Shashi highlighted the camp's focus on developing the physical, mental, and intellectual capabilities of participants. "In today's era, daughters are second to none. Women must embody both strength and maternal values to shoulder their dual responsibilities—toward their families and the nation," she said.
Senior functionaries of the Samiti, including Sunita Haldekar and Seeta Akka, as well as RSS Goraksh Prant sanchalak Mahendra Agrawal, were present on the occasion.
The training camp and the march reflect the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti's efforts to empower women and strengthen their role in societal and national development.
