About RSS Janakalyan Samiti:
| Draught of 1970 that the Maharashtra witnessed was a challenge to all the strata of society and Government as well. Understanding the need of the hour; every government machinery was geared up to be utilized to its fullest capacity, by then chief minister of Maharashtra Mr. Vasantrao Naik. Foreseeing the limitations that any Government has the group of people aware of their social responsibility came forward and formed a forum to fight the severe draught .It was named as ‘R.S.S Dushkal Nivaran Samitee’ [ R.S.S. Draught Eradication Committee] .And this time again RSS remain true to the bond of trust that their work had facilitated to the common people. And the people too were motivated to join the helping hands by contributing in every possible way. The people of every section and class of the society were part of it. No matter how big a personality was the ‘name and fame’ was kept aside and everybody worked as a part of this committee, as a true sincere volunteer devoted to the social cause. While working as and for people, the socially acclaimed forgot their social status and utilized their experience and expertise for fighting the unforgettable challenge that they and their fellow beings were exposed to. Even the Government had to acknowledge the torch bearing devotion, compassion and promptness at work in the form of this forum. Soon people won over the natural calamity by facing it united. As the draught started withdrawing, the people started relaxing with the due sense of achievement but the unstoppable energies at work in the form of the Samitee were not ready to relax, as it would have been dishonoring the human efforts which was ready to be utilized. A strong thought was sustaining that there was tremendous capacity to be utilized and it should not be just let rest helpless and be a by-watcher and helplessly see how some or the other problem or calamity hampers the human life in its totality, and that time government and other such agencies come forward and make a makeshift arrangements but it was not a full pledged solution to all the ever piling worries and troubles. As it has always been a practice that the thorough efforts loses its tempo as the severity of the problem go back on its momentum. But the devotion and the sense of responsibility on the part of these social volunteers was not a spur of the moment but an understood effort which was supported by generous hands of the society when the sincerity was duly experienced and tested. So a major decision was taken to revive the forum into a permanent committee which would fully devote itself to the social cause with its manpower prevalent in far stretched Maharashtra relying on the goodness of generous people who have truly understood their social responsibility.So the forum was renamed and revived into RSS Jankalyan Samitee. The members of this Samitee had understood so consistently supported the thought the areas of work should be specified and there would not be any discrimination of rural or urban area but the priority would always be given to the under privileged and the needy.The areas of ,value based education, health awareness, imbibing self-reliance and disaster management were the key areas zeroed down. With good strength of selfless workers available and residing in all the areas of the state the Samitee has evolved to a state level organization. |
