When the Indian Army was sent to the borders to face the threat of war from Pakistan, Patrika sent adventurous youths on motorcycles to the snowy valleys to ' boost the soldiers' morale with auspicious messages of good wishes and greetings.
Most notable among its crusades against suffering was its campaign for the donation of a handful of grain (Muthi bhar Anaaj) by every citizen when the continuous spell of drought in Rajasthan pushed millions of its people to the brink of starvation. Patrika called upon students to bring handfuls of grain to its office. The campaign electrified the student community and the general masses in the entire state who flocked to Patrika Offices in various cities and created heaps of grain. Patrika sent trucks loaded with the bags of grain to the areas where people were dying. It was a new value Patrika inculcated and showed the people the way to help the needy. What generated the tremendous enthusiasm was its slogan 'bacha bacha Bhamashah' i.e. every child is Bhamashah, the legendry philanthropist of Mewar who donated every penny to his people. Thus Patrika rose above the narrow familial boundaries and considered the entire humanity as its own.
Mr. Karpoor Chandra Kulish, the founder of Rajasthan Patrika, throughout his life as a journalist, tried to fulfill social commitments to a large extent and till date Patrika is following his footsteps.
