New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday released a special postage stamp and a commemorative coin, marking the centenary celebrations of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and featuring the first-ever depiction of Bharat Mata on Indian currency. The coin also bears the RSS motto Rashtriya Swaha, Idam Rashtraya, Idam Na Mama, which translates to Everything is dedicated to the nation, Everything is the nation’s, Nothing is mine.
For the first time in the history of independent India, the image of Bharat Mata has been featured on Indian currency, which marks a moment of great pride and historical significance, PM Modi said at the launch event in Delhi. The postal stamp released alongside the coin highlights RSS workers’ participation in the 1963 Republic Day Parade, underlining the organisation’s historic contributions.
The centenary celebrations were organised by the Ministry of Culture and attended by RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. Founded in 1925 in Nagpur by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the RSS was established as a volunteer-based organisation with the aim of fostering cultural awareness, discipline, service, and social responsibility among citizens.
