Wed Feb 12 14:38:10 UTC 2025: ## RSS Moves Back to Delhi Headquarters After Eight-Year Rebuilding Project

**New Delhi, February 12, 2025** – The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological mentor of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is returning to its renovated Delhi headquarters after an eight-year rebuilding project. The new Keshav Kunj complex, spanning 3.75 acres in Jhandewalan, features three 12-story towers with approximately 300 rooms.

The Rs 150 crore project, funded by at least 75,000 donors, incorporates both ancient and modern architectural techniques. The complex boasts a large solar power facility, an 8,500-book library open to researchers, and a five-bed clinic. The main auditorium honors the late Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Ashok Singhal.

The RSS, which had been operating from a rented space since 2016 due to the renovations, will officially recommence operations from the new building on February 19th with a Karyakarta Sammelan. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale are expected to attend.

The new building, designed by Gujarat-based architect Anup Dave, is a significant upgrade from its previous two-story structure, incorporating modern technology while maximizing sunlight and air circulation. The complex will also house the offices of RSS-affiliated publications *Panchjanya* and *Organiser*, as well as Suruchi Prakashan.

The RSS’s annual Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, its top decision-making body, will convene in Bengaluru from March 21st to 23rd, where approximately 1,500 senior functionaries will discuss key organizational matters and formulate resolutions. The move back to the Delhi headquarters marks a significant milestone for the organization after a prolonged rebuilding process, which included delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
