Rashtriya Seva Bharati is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which works with economically weaker sections of Indian societies, including tribal (Adivasi communities).

Although the volunteers of RSS and other allied organisations had been informally working for the betterment of the underprivileged, it was opined that a formal structure would help coordinate the service programs all over the country.

Using the software 'Remedy Kit' and internet technology, developed by the institute, vital information regarding pulse rate, heartbeat, blood pressure, and ECG can be transferred over the broadband link from Seva Bharti to Medical Center, BITS-Pilani.

Thuglak, a magazine based in Chennai, carried a report on the relief work of the tsunami that hit the coasts of Tamil Nadu.

It reported that when the tsunami left the whole government machinery paralyzed, it was because of the immediate relief work of Seva Bharati that hundreds of lives were saved.

"Seva Bharati had started rehabilitating people fleeing from the waves, losing their houses, boats, nets, etc., by feeding them, settling them in dry places, etc.

The editor of Thuglak, and noted dramatist Cho Ramaswamy says "The concerned authorities admit privately that it was the RSS-sponsored Seva Bharati, which did yeoman service everywhere.
