Don’t look for fame while doing social service, says Bhagwat

We are silent workers who aim for world’s well-being, therefore, we need a strengthened ‘Sangh shakti’: Bhagwat to RSS workers

First India Bureau

Jaipur: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday urged its workers to carry out social service without looking for fame or indulging in hyperbole and emphasised the importance of staying organised.

“An organised force always emerges victorious. We are the silent workers who aim for the world’s well-being and, therefore, we need a strengthened ‘Sangh shakti’,” he said while addressing the representatives of Sewa Bharti from across the country on the second day of Seva Sangam at Keshav Vidyapeeth in Jamdoli here.

WILL THE OLD PENSION SCHEME BE RESTORED?

These days the demand for restoration of ‘Old Pension Scheme’ (OPS) has gained momentum.

Till now the BJP was showing opposition to this as the party believed that ‘the economic condition of the states will deteriorate due to the restoration of the old pension scheme.’

But in view of the impending Karnataka elections, now the central government has also started saying that ‘it will review the new pension scheme.’

Actually, ‘OPS’ is the pension scheme of the Central Government under which monthly pension is provided to the beneficiaries till the end of their life.

This pension amount is equal to half of the last pay of that retired person.

On the other hand, under the new pension scheme ie ‘NPS’, the beneficiary can withdraw only 60 per cent of his investment amount on the retirement.

Without strength, no one accepts or sees the good work being done.

CM OK’s `463 cr to strengthen micro irrigation system in State

First India Bureau

Jaipur: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has approved a proposal of about Rs 463 crore for the work of diggi, farm pond and irrigation pipeline to strengthen the micro irrigation system in the State.

This approval has been given under the Rajasthan Micro Irrigation Scheme.

This is the nature of the world, he said and added that “while protecting religion will make the nation attain ultimate glory”.

“We have to work for a better world. This is why a large group of workers is needed,” he said, urging Sangh members to practice selfless service.

Bhagwat said that

Sangh inspired its workers to carry out social service and this led to the birth of Sewa Bharti.

“We don’t have to raise slogans or want others to do so in our praise. We have to follow what has been agreed to and work for its success even when there are personal disagreements.,” he said.

The Rashtriya Sewa Bharti is a not-for-profit organisation that follows the ideological pursuit of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). “We should stay away from seeking fame. If you do social service you will be popular but you should not pay attention to it. Your ego should not be a hurdle...You need to be humble, not aggressive if you want to work for public welfare.. Indulging in hyperbole will not do,” Bhagwat said. “We are not doing anything great, we are only fulfilling our responsibility to society.... this should be the underlining emotion,” he said. Thousands of representatives are participating in this three-day Sangam of Seva Bharti.

D o you remember Durga Shakti Nagpal? Durga Shakti, who took on Akhilesh Yadav and the Dabang Yadav family of UP, has now become the DM of Banda after 13 years. By the way, those who clear IAS become DM in the fourth-fifth year of their service. But Durga Shakti Nagpal’s is different. She grabbed media headlines as soon as she entered civil service, but this time Durga Shakti is in discussion not because of herself but because of her IAS husband Abhishek Singh. This is the same Abhishek Singh, when he was on duty in the last election, he had put a big sticker on his car with his photo written ‘Election Observer’, and he himself had posted this picture on social media. Because of this, he was also suspended. He has also worked in many films and serials and is very active on social media. His statement in a podcast was also very popular in which he said, ‘I wanted to be a gangster as a child’.

The scheme was launched from 1 Jan 2004 and was made applicable to all citizens from 1 May 2009 on a voluntary basis. In OPS, the pension amount is paid by the government, whereas in NPS, the contribution is made by the government as well as the employee. Under NPS, the government and employees contribute 10 and 14 per cent of the salary, respectively, to the pension fund. Seeing that OPS can become a big election issue in Karnataka polls and the upcoming 2024 general elections, the Modi government said that it will review the NPS and for this a committee has also been formed. While the decision of the committee is ‘imprisoned in the womb of the future’, this message has already been given to the public as to how much the PM cares for the pension holders.
