Kovind to be chief guest at RSS event

“The Vijayadashami Utsav, organized on the occasion of the centenary celebration of the founding of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, will be held on October 2, 2025, at 7:40 am at Reshimbagh, Nagpur,” the RSS said in a statement on Friday.

The Vijayadashami event is an important date in the Sangh’s calendar as the organisation –– the ideological fount of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) –– was founded on this occasion in 1925. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will also deliver his customary address during the event.

”Hon’ble former President of Bharat, Dr. Ram Nath Kovind ji, will be the Chief Guest, and the Pujaneeya Sarsanghchalak, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat ji will deliver the keynote address,” the statement added.
