Nagpur, 31st July: Pramiltai Medhe, the former Sanchalika (chief) of Rashtra Sevika Samiti, the women’s wing of the RSS, passed away on Thursday morning in Nagpur at the age of 97. Medhe had been unwell for the past three months, with her condition becoming critical in the last 15 days.

A release from the Rashtra Sevika Samiti stated that she breathed her last at 9:05 AM at the Devi Ahilya Mandir, her residence in Nagpur. Pramiltai Medhe was the fourth chief of the prominent women’s organization, known for her significant contributions to its expansion across the country.

Leaders from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Rashtra Sevika Samiti paid their tributes. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and current Rashtra Sevika Samiti head Shantakka visited the Devi Ahilya Mandir to honor Medhe.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also expressed his sorrow in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “I am deeply saddened to hear the news of passing away of Pramil ‘Mausi’ Medhe, the former Sanchalika of Rashtra Sevika Samiti. I offer my heartfelt tribute to her. Pramil Mausi ji had an important contribution in expanding the work of Rashtra Sevika Samiti in the country. Her entire life was dedicated to patriotism and awakening the power of women,” Gadkari wrote.

A Sangh functionary remarked that hundreds of swayamsevaks (volunteers) have lost a maternal figure with whom they could freely share their thoughts and feelings.

In accordance with her last wish, Pramiltai Medhe’s body will be donated to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Nagpur on Friday morning for medical education and research.
