    Summary

    Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil was born in a Marathi Jain farming family at Kumbhoj in Kolhapur district. Bhaurao's father was a clerk in the revenue department for East India company. Bhaurao was one of the first few Jains known to have passed 8th class of secondary school. During childhood, Bhaurao was heavily influenced by Chhatrapati Shahu, the ruler of Kolhapur State, who provided a facility to Bhaurao to stay in the palace of Kolhapur with Maharaj and study. Shahu was promoter of social equality and education of people belonging to backward castes. Eventually, his father sent him to Kolhapur for further education, where he got in contact with Satya Shodhak Movement and found other sources of inspiration, Mahatma Phule and Maharshi Vitthal Ramji Shinde.

    The walk of life

    Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil (22 September 1887 – 9 May 1959), born in Kumbhoj, Kolhapur, was a social activist and educator in Maharashtra, India. A strong advocate of mass education, he founded the Rayat Education Society. Bhaurao played an important role in educating backward castes and low income people by coining the philosophy earn and learn. He was a prominent member of Satyashodhak Samaj (Truth seeker's society), founded by Mahatma Jyotirao Phule. The people of Maharashtra honoured him with the sobriquet Karmaveer (King of actions) and the Government of India awarded him with Padma Bhushan in 1959 in India.

    Social work

    Bhaurao garnered political interest and decided to express his role in the fight for Indian freedom struggle by working in other beneficial fields like public education. While he worked for companies such as Ogale glass works, Kirloskars and Coopers, he participated in activities of Satya Shodhak Samaj. He had realized by then that the only remedy for the social evils of those times was the education of the masses. In 1919, he started a hostel where children from lower castes and poor families could stay and get an education, while working to pay the expenses. This was the foundation of what later became Rayat Shikshan Sansthan.

    As Bhaurao started working on his program to educate the masses, Gandhiji had also launched his campaign to free India (independence movement). During a public meeting in 1921, Bhaurao happened to come across Gandhiji at Mumbai. He was highly impressed by Gandhi's appearance in a loin cloth and his philosophy of Khadi. Following this encounter, Bhaurao decided to adopt Khadi attire and follow Gandhian principles in everyday living. Eventually he vowed to see it to completion, establishing 101 schools in Gandhi's name. However, Gandhiji and Bhaurao had a difference of opinion on the subject of accepting grants from government for educational activities in post-independence India. Gandhiji believed that even if the government wanted to give grants in aid to an educational institute (or institutes) without putting any restrictions on the institutes, this would eventually devolve into edicts and oversight. No one can expect to receive money without conditions forever. Bhaurao saw no such problem with accepting grants from the government. The Bountiful Banyan is Patil's biography, written by Pandurang Ganapati Patil.

    Rayat Education Society

    While employed in the Kirloskar factory at Kolhapur, Bhaurao began working for the Satyashodhak Samaj. In a meeting of Satyashodhak Samaj, held at Kale near Karad, a resolution passed that in order to run the Satyashodhak movement successfully it would be necessary to educate the Bahujan Samaj.Accordingly, Bhaurao Patil established Rayat Shikshan Sanstha at a small village named Kale, on 4 October 1919. This society focused on the children of the masses, so it was named Rayat, the Marathi word for "masses". During Bhaurao's lifetime the Sanstha created thirty-eight cosmopolitan boarding schools, 578 voluntary schools, six training colleges, 108 secondary schools and three colleges.

    Biography

    कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटिल (जैन) महाराष्ट्र प्रांत के शैक्षिक क्रांति के जनक माने जाते हैं। आपने शिक्षा को जनसामान्य तक पहुँचाने के लिए पढ़ाई के साथ कमाई का सिद्धान्त लागू किया था। भारत में कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटिल के नाम से संचालित सबसे बड़ा रयत शिक्षण संस्थान है, जिसकी लगभग १००० शाखाएँ हैं। आपका संकल्प था कि जितने मेरी दाढ़ी में बाल हैं, उतने स्कूल खोलूँगा। आपने जीवन भर नंगे पैर चलकर गाँव—गाँव जाकर गरीब असहाय बच्चों को शिक्षा से जोड़कर लाखों बच्चों का भविष्य उज्जवल किया था। इस शैक्षिक क्रांति में आपकी पत्नी का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान था। बोर्डिंग में पढ़ने वाले छात्रों को त्यौहार में खिलाने के लिए जब एक अन्न का दाना भी नहीं था और पाटिलजी बाहर गये थे, तब आपने अपना मंगलसूत्र बेचकर बच्चों के भोजन की व्यवस्था की थी। भारत सरकार ने भाऊराव पाटिल को १९५९ में पद्म भूषण उपाधि से सम्मानित किया था। पूना विश्वविद्यालय ने डी. लिट् की उपाधि प्रदान की। आपके सम्मान में भारत सरकार द्वारा ०९—०५—१९८८ को ६० पैसे का डाक टिकट जारी किया गया है।
