 Swayamsevaks plays important  role in providing relief during disaster. This year too, during the flood in the Tarakeswari river in West Bengal, swayamsevaks served 25,000 people in relief camps. During the Orissa floods, 4000 people were provided health and food assistance. In July, one thousand swayamsevaks each were engaged in landslides in Wayanad and Karnataka and provided relief work. Swayamsevaks also arranged for food etc. during the floods in Vadodara, Jamnagar, Dwarka. Along with this, the last rites of 600 people who died in the disaster were also performed, not only Hindus, but the dead of different communities were also cremated according to their traditions.
Sarkaryavah Dattatreya ji said that the work of ‘Swa’ is the work of the fragrance of the soil. Mahatma Gandhi had also said Swarajya. ‘Swa’ means ‘Swadheenta’, Rashtriya Swatva. Here,  Bharatiyas have to behave with our own tradition, our own civilization, its experiences, follow modernity, do not forget ‘Swa’ even in modernity. Dattatreya Hosabale ji  said that this is the 300th year of Punyashloka Ahilyabai Holkar. Social awakening, renovation of temples, efficient governance shows that even 300 years ago, the women power was capable of running the government for the people and for public work.
 
Dattatreya Hosabale ji said the Sangh insists on culture, harmony, education and health. Sarkaryavah ji said that much of what is being shown on all social  media internet platforms are not social. There should be freedom of speech & expression but there should be some regulation like Censor Board. There is a difference between control and regulations, and stressed  on regulations.  While speaking on the recent Bangladesh incident, Sarkaryavah ji  said that the Hindu society does not need to migrate from there. They should stay there, it is their land, and Hindus have Shaktipeeths in Bangladesh. Sarkaryavahji  said that Hindus live all over the world. Wherever there is a crisis, Hindus look towards Bharat.
 
On the Waqf Board, Sarkaryavah ji  said that whatever decisions the JPC will take; the government will work further keeping in mind the public sentiments. Speaking on the subject of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi, Sarkaryavahji  said that the matter is in the court, the court will take a decision. There is no need to do anything like Ayodhya, the society will decide. RSS are with the society.
