Birth and Family

Bhaurao Patil was born on September 22, 1887 at Kumbhoj in Kolhapur. But his native village is Aitwade Budruk in Sangli district. Name of his mother was Gangabai and his father was Paigaunda Patil.

Born in a farmer Jain family, Bhaurao was known as Bhau when was a child. When he grew up, he was respectfully addressed as Bhaurao. Bhaurao had three brothers named as Tatya, Balgonda alias Balwant, Badendra alias Bandu and two sisters Dwarkabai and Tarabai.

His father Paigounda Patil passed the civil examination and was employed as a clerk in the revenue department of the East India Company. Mother Gangabai was a housewife.

When Paigaunda Patil goes to work, Gangabai had to stay in the hut. Therefore, since Bhaurao was young, he had to stay at his grandhome i.e. Kumbhoj for security reasons.

His two ancestors Nemagounda and Shantangounda were Pithacharyas of the Jain Math at Nandani and Digambarpanthi Jain Munis. Therefore, Bhaurao also had ascetic attitude and rebellious attitude against injustice from childhood.

As Bhaurao was the most loved one in the house, his more attention was in playing and wandering than in studies. In that, Satyappa was known as the votary of the untouchables, the helper of the poor. Due to Satyappa, fearlessness among Bhaurao gradually increased.

Bhaurao was educated at Dahiwadi and Vite. At the age of eight, Bhaurao enrolled in Marathi primary school No. 1 of Dahiwadi on February 10, 1896 CE.

In 1902 CE, Bhaurao and Tatya were sent to Vite in Ajra taluk of Kolhapur for English education. Accordingly, he studied from 1st to 3rd in Rajaram Middle High School. After that, took admission in Rajaram High School.

Unforgettable event in life of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil

While at palace of Shahu Maharaj , Bhaurao failed in maths subject of sixth class. After telling this story to Shahu Maharaj , Shahu Maharaj asked the mathematics teacher Mr. Bhargavaram Kulkarni to pass Bhaurao in mathematics and push him to the upper class.

But Shri Bhargavaram was very honest, he said to Shahu Maharaj that, “The bench on which the brother sits, once he he will push the bench to the next class, but not the brother. Moreover, it does not agree with my intellect to mark pass a boy giving more marks who gets seven marks out of two hundred. If you wish Fire me.”

At that time, Shahu Maharaj saw his honesty and promoted him to a higher position. Bhaurao remembered those words of Kulkarni Guruji throughout his life. Later, Bhaurao told the boys of the hostel about this incident and made them work hard in their studies. After failing in sixth, father of Bhaurao called him back to Koregaon.

Most of the readers will see failure of Bhaurao here, but these last years in the company of Maharaja turned out to be a turning point in the life of Bhaurao. In the presence of Maharaja , he got inspiration to do social work as a future social reformer.

Strong advocate of education of the masses, he was the founder of Rayat Education Society, one of the most important educational institution in Maharashtra. Bhaurao played an important role in educating people from backward castes and also the poor masses by coining the philosophy earn and learn. He was also a prominent member of Satyashodhak Samaj (Truth seeker's society) founded by Mahatma Jotirao Phule. The people of Maharashtra honoured him with the epithet of Karmaveer (king of actions) and the Government of India awarded him with Padma Bhushan in 1959.

Bhaurao was born in a Jain Farmer family at Kumbhoj/Kambhoja in Kolhapur district. Bhaurao's father was clerk in revenue department for East India company. Bharao during his childhood days was directly influenced Chatrapati Shahu Majaraj, the King of Kolhapur who was promoter of social equality and education people belonging to backward castes. Eventually his father sent him at kolhapur for further education. Here he got in contact with Satya Shodhak Movement and found another source of inspiration, Mahatma Phule and Maharshi Vitthal Ramji Shinde. Bhaurao garnered political interest and decided to play his role in the fight for Indian freedom struggle by working in other beneficial aspects like public education. While he worked for Ogles, Kirloskars and Coopers he participated in activities of Satya Shodhak Samaj. He had realized by then that only remedy for the social evils of those time was education of masses. In the year 1919, he started a hostel where kids from backward castes and poor families could stay and get education, at the same time do work to take care of the expenses. This was the foundation of what later became Rayat Shikshan Sansthan.

As Bhaurao started working on his education for the masses, Gandhiji had also launched the freedom for Indian independence. 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.

In a council of Satyashodhak Samaj, held at Kale near Karad, a resolution was passed that in order to run SatyaShodhak Movement successfully, it is necessary that they must educate the Bahujan Samaj. Accordingly, Bhaurao Patil established Rayat Shikshan Sanstha at a small village named Kale, from Satara district, of western part of Maharashtra, on October 4, 1919 on the auspicious day of Ashok Vijaya Dashami. This society was specially meant for the children of masses, so it was named Rayat (Marathi word for masses). During his life-time, the Sanstha had 38 cosmopolitan boardings, 578 voluntary schools, 6 training colleges, 108 secondary schools and 3 Colleges.

Bhaurao Patil

essay on childhood of karmaveer bhaurao patil

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 Jotirao 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.

Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil was born in a Jain farmer 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 Maharaj, the honorable Maharaj (King) of Kolhapur, who provided a facility to Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil to stay in the palace of Kolhapur with Maharaj and study. The King of Kolhapur 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. 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 Ogles, 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 institute(s), 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 the biography of Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil written by Barrister  P. G. Patil . Pandurang Ganapati Patil is an educationist of Maharashtra, India.

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.

कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटील यांच्याबद्दल संपूर्ण माहिती

Tushar Bhambare

कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटील यांची प्राथमिक माहिती

भाऊरावांचा जन्म कोल्हापूर जिल्ह्यातील कुंभोज या गावी एका जैन कुटूंबात झाला. त्यांचे वडिल इस्ट इंडिया कंपनीत लिपिक म्हणून नोकरीस होते. सांगली जिल्ह्यातील ऐतवडे बुद्रुक हे त्यांचे मूळ गाव होय. त्यांच्या पणजोबांचे नाव देवगौडा, वडिलांचे नाव पायगौडा तर आईचे नाव गंगाबाई असे होते.

भाऊरावांचे प्राथमिक शिक्षण कुंभोज, दहिवडी, विटे इत्यादी ठिकाणी झाले. पुढील शिक्षणासाठी त्यांना कोल्हापूरच्या राजाराम हायस्कूलमध्ये दाखल करण्यात आले.  त्यांची राहण्याची सोय जैन बोर्डिंगमध्ये करण्यात आली होती. याच काळात त्यांच्यावर राजर्षी शाहू महाराजांच्या विचारांचा व कार्याचा प्रभाव पडला. पुढील काळात भाऊराव पाटील साताऱ्यात जाऊन शिकवण्या घेऊ लागले. याच काळात त्यांनी मदवानमास्तर, भाऊसाहेब कुदळे, नानासाहेब येडेकर आदि मंडळींबरोबर दुधगावात ‘दुधगाव शिक्षण मंडळ’ स्थापन केले. याच संस्थेमार्फत सर्व जातिधर्मांच्या मुलांसाठी एक वसतिगृहही त्यांनी सुरू केले. रयत शिक्षण संस्थेचे बीज येथेच रोवले गेले. पुढे त्यांनी ओगल्यांच्या काच कारखान्यात व किर्लोस्करांच्या नांगराच्या कारखान्यात काही काळ काम केले. याच काळात त्यांचा सत्यशोधक समाजाच्या कार्याशी जवळून संबंध आला. त्यांच्यावरील महात्मा फुले यांच्या विचारांचा प्रभाव स्पष्टपणे दिसून येतो. महात्मा फुले यांना गुरू मानूनच त्यांनी शैक्षणिक प्रसाराचे कार्य केले. ‘प्रत्येक गावात शाळा’; ‘बहुजन समाजातील शिक्षक’ व ‘शिक्षक प्रशिक्षण’ – या सूत्रांचा त्यांनी सातत्याने पाठपुरावा केला.

महाराष्टाच्या जनतेने भाऊराव पाटलांचा कर्मवीर ही पदवी देऊन गौरव केला. तसेच भारतीय केंद्रशासनाने त्यांना पद्मभूषण पुरस्कार देऊन गौरवले. पुणे विद्यापीठाने त्यांचा इसवी सन १९५९मध्ये सन्माननीय डी. लिट. ही पदवी दिली होती.

महात्मा जोतिबा फुले यांच्याबद्दल संपूर्ण माहिती जाणून घेण्याकरिता येथे क्लीक करा.

कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटील यांचे समाजकार्य

  • भाऊरावांनी मागास व गरीब मुलांना शिक्षण घेणे शक्य व्हावे म्हणून ‘कमवा व शिका’, ‘श्रम करा व शिका’ हा मंत्र विद्यार्थ्यांना दिला.
  • कर्मवीर भाऊराव पाटील हे जोतीराव फुले यांनी सुरू केलेल्या सत्यशोधक समाजाचे महत्त्वाचे सदस्य होते.
  • सातारा जिल्ह्यातील काले या गावी दिनांक ४ ऑक्टोबर १९१९ रोजी भाऊराव पाटील यांनी रयत शिक्षण संस्थेची स्थापना केली.

  • भाऊरावांनी महाराजा सयाजीराव हायस्कूल या नावाने देशातले ‘कमवा आणि शिका’ या पद्धतीने चालणारे पहिले फ्री ॲन्ड रेसिडेन्शियल हायस्कूल सुरू केले.
  • इ.स. १९४७ साली भाऊराव पाटलांनी साताऱ्यात छत्रपती शिवाजी कॉलेजची, तर इ.स. १९५४ साली कऱ्हाड येथे सद्गुरू गाडगे महाराज कॉलेजची स्थापना केली.
  • शाळा व महाविद्यालयांसाठी प्रशिक्षित शिक्षकांची उणीव जाणवू लागली, म्हणून त्यांनी प्रथम महात्मा फुले अध्यापक विद्यालय व पुढे इ.स. १९५५ मध्ये सातारा येथे मौलाना आझाद यांच्या नावाने आझाद कॉलेज ऑफ एज्युकेशन सुरू केले.
