RSS is likely to announce a new uniform on Sunday, towards the end of its three-day meet in Nagpur.
RSS officials have indicated that the long-discussed changes in the uniform may finally happen but did not disclose the changes, saying the matter was under discussion.
Media reports say the changes in uniform would be drastic - except for the canvas belt and the black cap, everything would change. A trouser would replace khaki shorts and a White T-shirt would come in place of a full White shirt.
RSS was initially said to be considering Navy Blue trousers, but has reportedly decided on Khaki trousers.
Changing uniform has been a tricky issue for RSS, which has been debating it since 2010. There is an opinion in the organisation seeking to change the gear to make it more appealing for the youth.
But the old guard is reportedly not comfortable with making changes that lay more emphasis on style than substance.
RSS' All India Prachar Pramukh Manmohan Vaidya indicated on Saturday that the move to bring in a new uniform was in line to adapt to the changing times. But he said the issue was under discussion.
