The People's Volunteer Organisation (Matrabashi: Logõn ke Svayamsevaka Saṅgha, LSS) is an left-wing Netajist cultural organisation and federation of workers cooperatives in Arthasthan. The LSS is the progenitor and leader of numerous subordinate organisations known as the Sangh Parivar that are present in all facets of Arthani society. It founded the Arthani-led Satrian Section of the Workers' International in 1949 as its political wing, which it maintains close ties with.

The LSS was founded in 1922 as a paramilitary force during the Satrian anti-colonialist movement. Originally it served to provide character training through discipline with the goal of uniting Satria to form a pan-Satrian state. During the leadership of Nalini Gupta, the organisation became overtly leftist and represented the leftist factions of the Azad Fauj. After the LSS split from the Azad Fauj after the Great War, it shifted its political base to modern day Arthasthan. At the outbreak of the Satrian Rebellion, the LSS declared the beginning of the Arthasthan Liberation War and the formation of the Satrian Commandery. The organisation's militia forces fought against Etruria and then various Satrian states to secure Arthasthan's independence. After the war, it reformed the Commandery into Arthani People's Union and founded the Satrian Section as its main political wing. Gradually, the LSS grew into a prominent Arthani nationalist umbrella organisation, forming several affiliated organisations that established numerous schools, charities, and clubs to spread its ideological beliefs in the country.

The LSS and the Satrian Section share deep ties and thus considered by Euclean academics to be a single, practically inseparable, political movement. Together with the Satrian Section, it is one of the largest organisations in the world with over 10 million members, including the members of its subordinate network of economic groups, associations, and organisations. It has a significant presence in Arthansthani society and economy through its local and regional branches and various affiliated organisations.
