RSS focus on Upadhyaya’s economic thoughts

The lecture sessions will be part of the Sangh’s plans for the 50th anniversary of Upadhyaya’s presentation of his thesis on PIH (Philosophy of Integral Humanism) during a meeting of Jan Sangh leaders at Vijaywada in January 1965. After four months of that from April 22 to 25, 1965, in Mumbai he delivered four lectures explaining his PIH on social, political, economic and agriculture issues which were later compiled and are now known as his philosophy of Integral Humanism (Ekatma Manavvaad).

“Roughly at least one lecture at each of nearly 40,000 shakhas would be observed and rest of the programmes would be held by frontal organisations at different levels,” a delegate who attended the Nagpur training session told The Indian Express.

Four delegates who attended the Nagpur training session at RSS office at Resham Bagh on August 16-18 were called from its many sister organisations — Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh, Bhartiya Janta Party and Pragya Pravah.

The 200 delegates received training from RSS joint-general secretary Datta Hosbale, octogenarian RSS leader Ranga Hari, BJP leader Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, former Rajasthan BJP president Mahesh Sharma, among others.
