Vinobaji's Gram Seva Mandal has been the focal point of his rural development work.

Became Secretary of the Go-Seva Sangh 60 years ago. Has set up Go- Shalas, Goras Bhandar and Krishi Gram Seva Sangh. Made Herculean efforts to bring about a halt to cow slaughter.

Totally committed to the Sarvodaya movement. Was intimately associated with the Bhoodan, Gramdan and Gram Swaraj movements. The growth of Mahila Ashram in Wardha is a true testimony to his commitment to the cause of women welfare.
