New Delhi, Oct 31: Swami Dayanand Saraswati was a visionary, said PM Modi on Friday.

Gracing the International Arya Mahasammelan 2025 in New Delhi, the PM said Swami Dayanand Saraswati founded the Paropkari Sabha during his lifetime. The seed planted by Swamiji has grown into a vast tree with numerous branches. Gurukul Kangri, Gurukul Kurukshetra, DAV institutions, and many other educational organisations continue to work tirelessly in their respective fields.

Whenever the nation has faced a crisis, members of the Arya Samaj have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the service of the fellow citizens, the PM added.
