The RSS has had a presence in Delhi since 1939, with its first office near the current headquarters. A single-storey office was built in 1962, expanded in the 1980s, and eventually replaced by this new sprawling complex. Before moving to the new building, the RSS operated from the Udasin Ashram, which was rented for over eight years.
