However, Akhil Bharatiya Prachaar Pramukh of the RSS Arun Kumar said that Swayamsevaks are active through 35 different organisations in various fields. Organisations working in the same field occasionally come together to share their experiments, experiences and observations.

To enable detailed discussions these organisations are grouped in various segments working in the same field. They are grouped as Seva (Service activities) Vaicharik (Intellectual arena), Arthik (Economy), Shiksha (Education), Samajik (social activities) etc.

Meeting of such group has been taking place every year since 2007. This year some of these groups have planned their meetings from 28 to 31 May, 2018 in Delhi.

There are some issues where the affiliate organizations of the RSS are not in agreement with the policy of the BJP all these issues need to be brought on the same page before the nation goes on poll mode.
