A report titled “Sadbhavna meeting in Delhi: Our goal is to end all exploitation and deprivation — Mohan Bhagwat” by Pramod Kumar in the latest Diwali issue of Organiser, says: “ ‘There is a need to launch reformative and service activities among the deprived sections of the society on a larger scale so that none feel deprived and exploited,’ said RSS Sarsanghachalak Mohan Bhagwat. He was addressing a gathering of leaders belonging to various Hindu communities assembled at a Sadbhavana Baithak in New Delhi on October 3. A total of 54 leaders belonging to 32 communities participated in the meeting. Kshetra Sanghachalak Dr Bajrang Lal Gupt and Prant Sanghachalak Shri Ramesh Prakash Sharma also shared the dais. Bhagwat stressed on four points. He said there should be a feeling of mutual cooperation and goodwill in all the communities and all leaders should educate their community members about the need for cooperation and unity. He further said service activities should be launched on a larger scale in all the areas where they are required. He directed the sangh workers to pay adequate attention to the areas, which are neglected with regard to service activities. He pointed out that sangh swayamsevaks are today running more than 1.5 lakh service projects in remote areas”.

The report adds: “He suggested that Sadbhavana Baithaks need to be organised at lower levels — block level in rural areas and basti level in cities — to spread the feeling of cooperation and to educate the people about the present challenges before the Hindu society. He emphasised that the frequency of such Sadbhavana Baithaks should be increased and more community leaders should be involved in them.”
