The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh began its three-day meeting in Pushkar, on Saturday, where issues of national security and women upliftment will be taken up. 

The entire top brass of RSS led by its chief Mohan Bhagwat is attending the meeting where 200 delegates of its 35 frontal organisations are participating. BJP's working president Jagat Prakash Nadda is also attending the meeting.

As the meeting is taking place post abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir, the issue is likely to find resonance in the meeting where some deliberations on the economy can also be expected, sources said. Even the developments on the issue of building Ram Temple will be discussed on the last day of the meeting on September 9.

The meeting is reviewing the report of a two-year survey among women belonging to tribal, backward, working and non-working women. Based on the findings of this report, the various frontal organisation are likely to take up new programmes to work in the field of health and women empowerment, RSS' publicity in-charge Arun Kumar said.

A similar coordination meeting was held in Andhra Pradesh, last year, where it was decided that Sangh bodies will work in the fields of water management, environment and youth for one year. The work done in these areas will also be reviewed. These co-ordination meeting also act as a sounding broad as senior functionaries of the Sangh frontal bodies travel across the country and interact with people. Based on their feedback, the issue confronting the society are taken up,” RSS leader said.
