Boarding Houses :-

Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil started his work by opening the boarding houses for the boys from the mofussil areas. His Guru Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj, being aware of the monopoly of the privileged classes, had started separate boarding houses at Kolhapur for students of the neglected castes and religions. But Bhaurao was a step ahead of his Guru in bringing all the castes and communities under a single roof of his epoch-making Chhatrapati Shahu Boarding House. This Boarding House served as a medium for the social transformation as a novel kind of educational discipline was insisted on its inmates to live a family life, irrespective of social, caste and creed distincitions and to do manual work that might inculcate in them a noble value like 'Dignity of Labour'. The inmates lived , dined, and studied together. Karmaveer Bhaurao wanted to create 'a new man' who would be an ideal citizen in the country like India with its countless castes and communities innumerable, often staking her peace and progress. Chh Shahu Boarding House was in fact, the first-ever such a bold and conscious experiment in national integration. It was christened at the auspicious hands of the Father of the Nation in 1927.

Mahatma Gandhi, impressed by Bhaurao’s work, had paid a glowing tribute to him: "Bhaurao, you are doing here what I have not been able to do at Sabarmati," and blessed his work by garlanding his Harijan student Laxman Bhingardeve who had stood first in Sanskrit. The boarding houses of the Sanstha have proved helpful in inculcating values like social equality, love for freedom , feeling of brotherhood and self reliance in their inmates. The fact that the communal riots in Western Maharashtra never reach their disastrous apex is a happy outcome of Bhaurao's’ cosmopolitan hostels. The Rayat Shikshan Sanstha gives more importance to the hostels since they not only provide the  boarding and educational facilities but also promote social harmony .

Earn While you Learn :-

‘Education through self-help’ was the seminal pinciple of Karmaveer Bhaurao’s educational philosophy. He made it a point to inculcate this through his novel idea of ‘Earn while you Learn’. The values such as self-reliance, confidence, dignity of labour and integrity of mind and character were automatically impressed upon the minds of the students who benefited from this scheme.
