HISTORY
About 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, needs no introduction. The institution itself is regarded as a noble mission, a noble cause, so earnestly and so endearingly pursued by its founder-father, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil, the educator of educators, and his legendary wife, Sou. Laxmibai Patil, with her exemplary sacrifices made to turn the mission into a reality.
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 had an incisive understanding of the social ills that beset his times and fully realized the dire need of the spread of education.
Throughout his life he tried to translate this belief into reality. He was the champion of the poor, the weak, the dispossessed and left no stone unturned for their upliftment.
He realised 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 headquarters of his educational institution to Satara.
