This years ABKM meeting was scheduled to be held at Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh around Diwali, but it could not be held due to COVID-19 pandemic, he said.

"The RSS usually holds its ABKM, which is a top decision making body, meeting around Diwali every year. The organisation reviews its works done in the previous year and also makes plans for the next year at this meeting," RSS sources said.

Pandey said the RSS has divided the country into 11 regions for smooth functioning of the organisation and its works.

The north east region comprises states of Bihar and Jharkhand.

As per the RSS organisational set up, the north east region has three prants- north Bihar, south Bihar and Jharkhand.
