Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a specially designed commemorative postage stamp and a coin highlighting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) contribution to the nation at a programme in Delhi on Wednesday to mark the centenary celebrations of the Hindutva organisation.

Addressing the event, PM Modi said, "... Tomorrow is Vijayadashmi, a festival which symbolises the victory of good over evil, victory of justice over injustice, victory of truth over falsehoods, and victory of light over darkness... The establishment of RSS as an organisation on this great day 100 years ago, was no coincidence."

Calling the Sangh a collective force of ordinary people achieving extraordinary work, Modi described its shakhas as “Yagna Vedis". "It is said for the Sangh that here common people together do extraordinary work. Sangha Sakhas are like 'Yagna Vedi'".
