INTRODUCTION TO RAYAT

Rayat Shikshan Sanstha is one of the leading educational institution in Asia. The value of its contribution to education in general is enormously great as it has, from the very begining, 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. Karmaveer 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 realised 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; and could be the powerful means of social transformation. All his life, he tried to translate this belief into reality. Rayat Shikshan Sanstha, stands for, strives for and has accomplished to a great extent what the founder father had in his mind. Rayat Shikshan Sanstha made astounding progress in the field of education reflecting fully the ideals cherished by the founder. The word ' RAYAT' chosen by Karmaveer to name his Sanstha, was significant indeed. 'Rayat' means masses and the educational institution named after it was to focus its attention on the welfare and happiness of the masses. Education then, was but privilege of the select few. Betterment of the under -privileged achieved through the Sanstha is the outcome of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil's perfect vision and foresight!

The astounding work for the poor and deprived, performed by Sanstha with the missionary zeal, has been honoured with many titles and awards by both the State and the Central Government; viz. "Dalit Mitra Puraskar", "Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Award", "Shahu Puraskar" etc. The masses have unbounded love and faith in its mission. They have actively supported and blessed the mission to have spread itself into a vast branch-work like that of the Banyan Tree, the emblem of the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha. No wonder, the Sanstha today, has emerged as a premier educational institution is Asia. It has grown and will continue to grow from strength to strength to meet educational and social challenges of new millennium.
