HCL chairman Shiv Nadar to be first corporate at RSS Vijayadashmi event

Over the years, the organisation started inviting prominent defence personalities, social workers and artists

HCL founder and chairman Shiv Nadar will be the chief guest at the Vijayadashmi function of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to be held in Nagpur on Tuesday.

In the history of the RSS, this would be the first time that a corporate is being invited to the function — a keenly watched annual event where RSS chief speaks out the organisation’s agenda for the year ahead. 

The function will start at 7.40 am at the sprawling ground of Reshimbagh. Nadar, along with the “Sarsanghchalak (RSS chief)”, will witness the Pathsanchalan (route march of the RSS cadre) and perform Shastra (arms) Puja.
