Bihar CM inaugurates mega play on RSS founder Dr Hedgewar

Patna, Oct 23 (UNI) Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary Friday inaugurated the staging of the mega theatrical production “Sangh Srijan Ka Avishkar: Yugpravartak Dr Hedgewar”, organised on the occasion of the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The grand production has been created by Nadabrahma, an organisation based in Nagpur, and is being organised by the Bihar government's Department of Art and Culture.
Before the performance, Choudhary paid floral tributes to Dr Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, the founder and first Sarsanghchalak of the RSS. He subsequently watched the theatrical presentation.
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister described the occasion as historic and said the production presented important values such as patriotism, sacrifice, discipline and social service through the life and contributions of Dr Hedgewar.
He described Hedgewar as a freedom fighter, thinker and skilled organiser who made significant contributions to nation-building. By establishing the RSS, Hedgewar developed a tradition of organisational work and national service that subsequently spread across the country, Choudhary said.
He added that RSS shakhas had continued to work towards national service, social harmony and the promotion of cultural traditions.
Referring to India''s development goals under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister said the country was moving towards the vision of a developed India, with the Centre making sustained efforts to build a prosperous and advanced nation.
Choudhary said the theatrical production would serve as an important medium for understanding Hedgewar's life, struggles, ideals and commitment. Bihar has more than two crore young people, he said, adding that it was important to familiarise the younger generation, particularly Generation Z, with Hedgewar's life and dedication to the nation.
The Chief Minister announced that the production would not remain confined to Patna but would also be staged in other districts of Bihar to enable more young people to draw inspiration from it. The state government would make every possible effort to familiarise people with Hedgewar''s life and ideas, he added.
Producer Padmakar Dhanorkar welcomed the Chief Minister.
State Art and Culture Minister Pramod Kumar and RSS Bihar-Jharkhand regional functionary Mohan Singh also addressed the gathering.
