The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) three-day All India Coordination Meeting will focus on demographic changes, drug abuse among youth and strengthening coordination among Sangh-inspired organisations, RSS national publicity chief Sunil Ambekar said on Tuesday (August 18, 2026).
Speaking to media, Mr. Current national developments, social changes and emerging challenges would also be reviewed. “Changing demographic patterns and their wider implications will be discussed, along with measures to address rising drug abuse among young people. Sources in the Sangh informed that a discussion will also take place on the youth-led protests happening across India.
Around 327 delegates from 32 affiliated organisations, including the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh and the Rashtra Sevika Samiti are expected to participate. More than 65% of those registering were below 30, while nearly 85% were below 40.
Ambekar said the meeting was not an executive decision-making forum but an opportunity for organisations to exchange experiences and improve coordination. The meeting will consider an action plan for youth de-addiction and wider public awareness on substance abuse,” he said. ‘Especially the ones took place at Jantar Mantar and Jharkhand,” they said. The RSS said registrations through its “Join RSS” website increased from 57,423 between January and July 2025 to 1,23,287 during the corresponding period in 2026.
