Human Resource Management in the Rss: My Learnings

Human-Resource Management in the RSS is an English translation of the acclaimed Marathi book Sanghatil Manavi Vyavasthapan: Eka Swayamsevakachya Najaretun by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. It veers away from recapitulating the history of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the glories of its most luminous members. Instead, the book studies the management and development of human resource in the Sangh, a topic worthy of serious reflection by management students as well as experienced professionals. In the book, Nitin Gadkari delves into the functions of the Shakha, its fundamental values, and the daily forms of the Sangh in a manner that is clear and effective. He explores in detail how the Sangh’s spirit of service acts as a daily lesson for its volunteers, becoming the fundamental building block of the largest voluntary organization in the world.
