Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan today released the book “A Century of Service – The RSS in 100 Acts of Seva” authored by former Governor of Telangana and former Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, at Uprashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi.
Addressing the gathering, the Vice President said the book documents the RSS’s century-long service, its social responsibility and its contribution to nation-building.
Observing that “today’s news is tomorrow’s history,” Shri C.P.Radhakrishnan stressed the importance of documenting good work, which could otherwise fade from public memory. He said the book captures how the spirit of seva has translated into sustained social service.
Describing “Seva is Dharma; it is a duty” as a foundational ideal, the Vice President said RSS service initiatives have reached the poor, marginalised and diverse sections of society, including workers, women and children. He recalled the role of RSS volunteers in providing food, medicines and essential support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Referring to the theme of “Nation-building through character-building” in the book, the Vice President said patriotism, discipline, social responsibility and national unity are essential to nation-building.
He said the book would serve not only as a record of the RSS’s century-long service but also as a document reflecting India’s tradition of seva, culture and national consciousness for future generations.
The Vice President congratulated Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan and all those associated with the publication, expressing hope that more such efforts to document history would follow.
Union Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, Dr. L. Murugan; Puducherry Home Minister Shri A. Namassivayam; Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan; were present.
