⏺️History of the Congress Seva Dal

The Seva Dal was founded in the context of the growing Indian independence movement. Hardikar was inspired by the work of the Non-Cooperation Movement and wanted to create an organization that could mobilize the masses for non-violent resistance. He also wanted to promote communal harmony and social justice through the Seva Dal.

The Seva Dal played a key role in the Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930-31. Seva Dal volunteers organized mass picketing of liquor shops, salt depots, and other government establishments. They also participated in the Salt March and other non-violent protests.

The Seva Dal was banned by the British government in 1932. However, it continued to operate underground and played a role in the Quit India Movement of 1942. After independence, the Seva Dal was revived and became a part of the Indian National Congress.

⏺️ History and Legacy 

The Seva Dal continues to be an important part of the Indian National Congress today. It is involved in a variety of activities, including social service, disaster relief, and voter education. The Seva Dal also provides training in non-violent resistance and leadership skills.
