In Freedom Movement

THE SPIRIT of freedom Dr. Hedgewar had embodied in himself and had infused in the Swayamsevaks has continued to blaze radiantly. Several have been the occasions when this quality has come to the fore-both when the British were ruling and after they left.

By the early forties, the war took an adverse turn for the British. Shri Guruji had just assumed the leadership of Sangh. The urgent and paramount task of mobilising and training the Hindu youth brooked no delay. His hurricane tours over large parts of the country began . The message went home. Hundreds of young Swayamsevaks gave up their studies, left their hearths and homes and began spreading the message of national emancipation through Sangh.

Vanwasi Kalyan Parishad

Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad was founded in 1972 with a small vanvasi ashram in Sendhwa in Madhya Pradesh. In the last thirty-three years, Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad has worked extensively for the upliftment of the vanvasis through the establishment of hostels for vanvasi students, dispensaries, sports centres, bal sanskar kendras, bhajan mandalis, etc. The Vanvasi Olympics in 1991 and the Hindu Sangam, Jhabua in 2002 organised by Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad were major success stories which left deep impressions on the minds of the vanvasis as well as the urban population of Madhya Pradesh. These events bridged the gap and promoted interaction between the two societies which was found to be mutually beneficial.

Ekal Vidyalaya

Although the Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation was registered as charitable trust in 1999, the concept has been in practice and refined over decades.

Foundation Laid by Vivekananda
In 1986, inspired by the efforts of the early Vivekananda workers, a group of young educationists began work with the primitive tribes in the dense forests of Jharkhand. Notable amongst them were Late Dr. Rakesh Popli (a USA-returned nuclear scientist) and his wife Rama Popli (a child education expert). They refined the concept of the 'one-teacher school' amongst the tribes of Gumla (125 km away from Ranchi (Jharkhand), Chhatisgarh. Two years later, Shri Madan Lalji Agarwal established similar schools in 60 villages near Dhanbad.
