Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday, November 19 said that the RSS is a voluntary organisation where people join out of their own choice, without any compulsion. “There is no entry fee and no formalities. Anyone can join, and if someone wants to leave, no one stops them,” he said.

Speaking about the organisation’s role, Bhagwat said that the RSS works to make India a strong and leading nation and to help shape Indian society in the right direction. He stressed that a country's growth does not depend on leaders, slogans, political parties, or governments alone. “These are only facilitators. The real strength behind a nation’s progress is its society,” he added.

He highlighted unity and good values as the two essential qualities of a strong society.
