The Rashtra Sevika Samiti (National Women Volunteers Committee) is a Hindu nationalist women's organization. (RSS)
Even though it is often referred to as the "women's wing" of the RSS, the organization claims that it is independent of the RSS while sharing its ideology. Membership and leadership are restricted to women and its activities are directed to nationalist devotion and mobilization of Hindu women.
Laxmibai Kelkar was the founder of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti. Before establishing the organization, Kelkar visited Dr. K.B. Hedgewar, the founder of the RSS, in 1936 and had a long discussion to persuade him regarding the need for starting a women's wing in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh itself Hedgewar, though, continued to restrict membership of the RSS to men. However, Hedgewar advised Laxmibai Kelkar to establish an entirely separate organization that would be autonomous and independent of the RSS, as both groups were ideologically identical. Hedgewar promised Kelkar unconditional solidarity, support, and guidance for the Samithi. Following this, Kelkar established the Rashtra Sevika Samiti at Wardha on 25 October 1936.
