Service is the medium to eliminate inequality from society: RSS Joint General Secretary Alok Kumar

“The service is the only work through which the gap of inequality in society can be reduced.”- Shri Alok Kumar, the Joint General Secretary of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh expressed while addressing the Seva Samman 2024 program organized by Seva Bharti in New Delhi on Saturday.

In this Seva Samman program organized at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh attended as the chief guest and Shri Alok Kumar, was the keynote speaker. Shri Surendra Arya, CMD, Jai Bharat Maruti Ltd. JBM, presided over the program.

Addressing the program, the chief speaker, Shri Alok Kumar said that service is the only work through which the gap of inequality in the society can be reduced. This is a divine work in which every section of the society should join. Seva Bharti should give Seva Samman to 4 times more people next year, so that the enthusiasm of the service-minded people increases manifold.

The brothers who serve humanity in India have come together on this platform in this Kumbh, for which everyone is thankful.

Next year in the centenary year of the Sangh, you should take this work to a bigger level and it should be held in Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium so that the great people associated with service get energy and direction.

Seva Bharti should remain a pioneer in this work of connecting the work of service being done in different areas.

He said that it is said in the Puranas that doing charity is a virtue and troubling others is a sin. He said that providing something to those who are deprived of it is a virtuous act. Seva Bharti believes that service should be done at the individual level and there should be a sense of harmony in it.

Addressing the program, Chief Guest Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh said that the work that Seva Bharati is engaged in for the upliftment of the neglected and deprived sections of the society will undoubtedly help India to become a Vishwaguru again and make India inclusive.

He said that along with the governments, the awakened people of the nation will also have to work for the inclusive development of the society. The ideas of integral humanism and Antyotya with which the workers of Seva Bharati are working are undoubtedly commendable. Shri Rajnath Singh congratulated all the honored personalities.
