History of Rayat Shikshan Sanstha:

A premier institution of education like the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha, known and

honoured far and wide, not only at the national level, but at the global level too.

The institution itself is regarded as a noble mission, a noble cause, so earnestly

and so endearingly pursued by its founder- Hon.Padmabhushan

Dr.Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil, the educator of the educators and his

legendary wife Sou. Laxmibai Patil with her exemplary sacrifices made

to turn the mission into a reality.

The Rayat Shikshan Sanstha is one of the leading educational institutions

in Asia. The value of its contribution to education in general is enormously

great as it has, from the very beginning, tried all its best to lay emphasis on the

education of the down-trodden, the poor and the ignorant who really form

the major bulk of society. The founder of the institution, late Dr. Karamaveer

Bhaurao Patil, was a man of the masses who devoted all his mind and heart to

the cause of their education. He believed that education alone could correct the

social ills such as caste-hierarchy, money-lending, illiteracy, untouchability,

superstitions and social and economic inequality. Throughout his life he tried to

translate this belief into reality. He realized that the social ills could be remedied

through the education of the masses alone and laid the foundation of the Rayat

Shikshan Sanstha by opening a Boarding House at Kale (Tal-Karad, Dist-

Satara) in 1919. Soon, however, in 1924 he shifted the head-quarters of his

educational institution to Satara.

Vision: Education to all the classes of society, especially to the downtrodden,

economically and socially backward sections of society. There is a need to

reconsider the present education at all its levels. The globalization and

liberalization have changed all the concerns and references. It is necessary to

deviate from the traditional methods and use the new methods and technology

for imparting education. In view of this the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha has actively

started the process of adjusting with new trends.

Objectives of the Sanstha:

The quality improvement programmes at 10th and 12th levels for

strengthening teaching-learning.

Making changes for improvement in quality merit right from 4th std. on

word through various teaching aids and resources.

Orientation and training programmes for the teachers on the new methods

and techniques of teaching.

Providing at least one job oriented course to the students along with

conventional university courses/degrees.

Starting courses especially for girls in all colleges to make them self

reliant, to stand on their own.

Introduction of system to prepare students competently for competitive

examinations.

Framing new short term courses related to management studies.

Making MS-CIT course available to know the needs of BPO services and

for the preparation of software. MOU with bio-technology institutions

and universities.

Paying attention on the changes occurring after 2005 and retaining

leading position of the Sanstha in the process of modern education.

Mission:

level, to the rising generations.

To provide education to the people from remote places, tribal, rural, semi-

urban and urban areas by establishing educational institutions.

employees of the Sanstha.

To enrich the dignity of labour and to make arrangements for providing

education against manual labour.

upgrading the knowledge, training and skills in all fields of human endeavor

by developing educational network with use of modern communication

media and technologies.

social justice and to act as a catalyst in socio-economic transformation for

national development.

Anna- Padmbhushan Dr. Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil :

Dr. Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil was born on 22 September,

1887 at Kumbhoj, in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra. He

came from the tenacious Jain family but rejected its rigorous

religious rites and fought all his life against the social ills that impede the

secularist growth of society. He is very much influenced by social activist like

Rajashri Shahu Maharaj and Mahatma Jyotirao Phule. He would perform Satya

Shodhaki Jalasas in the villages of Maharashtra and awaken the people to the

dire consequences of the social evils of the time. He realized that the social ills

could be remedied through the education of the masses alone and so laid

the foundation of the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha by opening a Boarding

House at Kale (Tal-Karad, Dist-Satara) in 1919. Soon, however, in 1924 he

shifted the head-quarters of his educational institution to Satara.

Sou Laxmivahini:

Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil alias Anna, his wife Sou.

Laxmibai Patil alias Vahini, the idol of sacrifice, had

handed over all her gold ornaments one after the

other including even her sacred Mangal Sutra, to meet

the expenditure of the Boarding House. Though Vahini

came from an orthodox and traditional background, she

took care of the children of different castes as if they were

her own.
