The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is set to hold its annual national-level Prant Pracharak (provincial in-charge Pracharak) meeting ahead of the selection of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) national president.

This meeting is scheduled to take place in New Delhi from 4 to 6 July at the RSS's Delhi headquarters, known as 'Keshav Kunj', amid speculations that a new BJP president would be appointed only with the RSS's approval.

The organisational structure of the RSS is composed of 11 regions and 46 prants, TNIE reported.

In an official announcement made by RSS on Monday (23 June), it was stated that the Akhil Bharatiya Sangathan Mantris (national level organising secretaries) from RSS and its associated entities will be present at the upcoming meeting.

Ambedkar outlined the agenda for the upcoming meeting in a statement. The discussion topics will include a report and evaluation of the recently held RSS training camps, plans for executing the year-long RSS centenary year events, the 2025-26 itinerary for RSS chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat, and other upcoming activities.

The programs marking the centenary year of RSS (2025-26) will begin on Vijayadashami, occurring on October 2 this year, and will extend until the Vijayadashami of the following year, 2026.

The gathering in Delhi organized by the RSS will see the participation of its chief, Dr Mohan Bhagwat, Sarkaryawah Dattatreya Hosabale, and all Sah-Sarkaryawahs. These include Dr Krishna Gopal, CR Mukund, Arun Kumar, Ramdutt, Atul Limaye, and Alok Kumar.
