PM Modi launched a Rs 100 coin and special postal stamp at the RSS centenary celebrations, calling it a historic moment as Bharat Mata appears on Indian currency for the first time.
The coin depicts Bharat Mata in Varada Mudra with swayamsevaks, alongside the RSS motto, while the stamp highlights the organisation’s 1963 Republic Day Parade participation.
The RSS, founded in 1925 by K.B. Hedgewar, was recalled for its century-long role in service, discipline, and cultural awareness; Modi himself once served as a pracharak.
