A premier institution like Rayat Shikshan Sanstha,
known and respected at national and international levels,
needs no introduction. The institution itself represents
a noble mission and a lifelong commitment towards education,
initiated by its founder Padmabhushan Dr. Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil
and strongly supported by Sou. Laxmibai Patil through
her remarkable sacrifices.
Rayat Shikshan Sanstha is one of the leading educational
institutions in Asia. From its inception, the institution
has focused on providing education to the poor, deprived,
and socially backward sections of society.
The founder, Dr. Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil, devoted his life
to the cause of mass education. He strongly believed that
education alone could eliminate social evils such as caste
discrimination, illiteracy, untouchability, superstition,
and economic inequality.
He was a true humanitarian who dedicated his life to uplifting
society through education. In 1919, he founded Rayat Shikshan Sanstha
by starting a boarding house at Kale, Taluka Karad, District Satara.
Later in 1924, the headquarters of the institution was shifted to Satara.
After the demise of the founder, the institution continued to grow
rapidly. Today, the Sanstha operates numerous colleges, secondary schools,
training colleges, hostels, primary schools, pre-primary schools,
administrative offices, and various educational branches across Maharashtra
and Karnataka.
The institution serves lakhs of students and employs thousands of staff
members belonging to various castes and communities. The remarkable growth
and achievements of Rayat Shikshan Sanstha truly reflect the vision and
dreams of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil.
