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.

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.
