Mohan Bhagwat: News
Mohan Madhukar Bhagwat is a veterinary doctor, socio-cultural activist, and the sixth Sarsanghchalak (chief) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Bhagwat comes from a Maharashtrian family of RSS workers. He graduated in Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry and joined the RSS in the 1970s, becoming a pracharak in 1975. In his early years at RSS, Bhagwat worked in Akola, Nagpur, and Vidarbha in Maharashtra. From 1991 to 1999, he was in charge of physical training for the Sangh cadres nationwide.
