The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) announced through a tweet on Thursday that mountaineer Padam Shri Santosh Yadav will be the chief guest at the annual RSS Vijayadashmi festival, becoming the first woman in history to be a chief guest at an RSS event.
The event will be organised at Reshimbagh Maidan in Nagpur on October 5 and will be inaugurated by RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat, the RSS said in a tweet. Santosh Yadav was a mountaineer who made a world record, by becoming the first woman in the world to scale Mount Everest twice.
Earlier, Kailash Satyarthi had also been the chief guest at the RSS event.
The Vijayadashmi programme is considered to be of great significance for the RSS, as the Sangh was founded by Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar on this very day back in 1925. Bhagwat will also address the RSS workers after the ‘weapon worshipping’ event. The speech holds great significance as it serves as the guidelines for the organisation and political units.
