He had been influenced by Rajarshi Chh. Shahu Maharaj, king of Kolhapur, who advocated the social equality and promoted education for the backward communities of Maharashtra. He was also inspired by the work of Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. While working he was also involved in the activities of Satya-Shodhak Samaj. He devoted his time for spreading awareness of social ills among society. He realized education of the masses can be the remedy for social ills. In his view, education is the means to empower the masses to enjoy the fruits of freedom and to emancipate them from social, economic and cultural slavery. 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. 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 was the champion of the poor, the weak, and the dispossessed and left no stone unturned for their upliftment. He was a great humanitarian who endeavored hard to educate the masses to bring a kindly light of hope in their lives of misery and ignorance. 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.
