Abstract
Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar founded the
Rashtriya Swaymsevak Sangh (RSS) D in Nagpur on 28th September, 1925. His life
was very eventful. He was a great patriot. He never came under the subjugation
of British imperialism. In his school days he denounced the celebrations of the
Diamond Jubilee Celebrations of Queen Victoria and the coronation of Edward
VII. After completing the education of medical, he joined the Congress and
became provincial secretary. Being fed up with the policies of congress he left
it and started a voluntary organization RSS for the sake of welfare of the
nation. He worked silently and never seeking publicity. His mission was
development of common man by making them self-dependent which can be possible
through both formal and informal education. He was constructive, practical and
comprehensive in view of his philosophy on education. He inculcated the feeling
of patriotism among common folk. Throughout the life, he tried for physical,
intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual development of people for welfare
and upliftment of humanity, irrespective of caste. By the way of his plan of
education, we can get to build the strong nation with peace and harmony. For
him education is an instrument for harnessing human drives, and as
consequences, it becomes to some extent a method of behavior modification.
There are not many individuals like Dr. Hedgewar who devoted his life for the
sake of the nation and established an organization which is the largest
self-financed voluntary organisation in the world, and his ideology is immortal
as today, a large section of the society has adopted it. Dr. Hedgewar was such
a personality who let his creation speak rather than pushing himself to the
front. Today, thousands of educational institutions and millions of Shakhas are
running, following his ideology in world. Each and every member of Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh, popularly known as RSS, is dedicated for the service of the
nation and development of humanity.
