RSS Affiliated coaching institute Samkalp mentors IAS aspirants

Against the perception that Rashtriya Swayemsewak Sangh (RSS) produces only swayemsewaks, motor-mouths or right wing leaders, its affiliated coaching institute Samkalp has continued to give the nation its fair share of IAS officers too.

The number of IAS officers who have taken some help from Samkalp has now reached approximately 450. The figure is shared by the New Delhi chapter, tracing the time the institute began its journey in 1986. After churning out so many IAS officers, Samkalp's outside chapter has now opened in Agra. Fresh batch of aspirants is consulting the Agra chapter since January.

The coaching has been attended by aspirants at various levels. Some come to attend the interview training programme, while others visit libraries or attend classes, an RSS man at Delhi chapter told TOI.

Besides IAS, there are around 4,000 officers who cleared around 24 exams conducted by the UPSC thanks to Samkalp, the RSS source added. The coaching also had centres at Kanpur and Roorkie, but they have for some time now they have only been serving as guiding centres.

The history of humankind is replete with instances of migration - Africa to Asia & Europe; Central Asia to India (the 'Aryan invasion'); across the freezing Atlantic from North America to Alaska & the ARctic regions or visa versa. All this entailed transport of men & material. So, means of transport were always an important factor in human evolution - whether it be on foot, bullock carts, horses, donkeys, yaks, camels or the high flying aircraft carriers which reach you to places across the globe in a few hours. When we talk of transport today, what we actually mean are highways and super-highways, bullet trains flying by on fast tracks, the metro rail which has metamorphosed urban life, et al. Road transport is still the prime means of conveying people & goods from one place to another. This means that a country needs good, well maintained roads covering the length and breadth of the country, including remote and inaccessible regions. This is a generation of migration again, like our ancestors, when people move away from their hometowns to the big cities in search of livelihoods. Travelling for holidays has also become a big fad nowadays. And, of course, consumer and non-consumer items are also transported from one place to another, whether it be milk & vegetables or refrigerators & washing machines. Roads are, thus, to a large extent the nerve centre of the economy.
