बच्चूभाऊंच्या कार्याची सुरूवात झाली तीच मुळी रुग्णसेवेने. मित्राच्या उपचारासाठी मुंबईला जावे लागणार होते. जवळ पैसे नसल्यामुळे त्यांनी घरातला कापूस चोरून विकला. त्या तुटपुंज्या पैशावर विनातिकीट प्रवास करत मुंबईत दाखल झाले. एक वेळ जेवण करून मित्रावर उपचार केला. हा अनुभव त्यांना बरेच काही शिकवून गेला. आणि मग ठरवले. रुग्णसेवा करायची. रुग्णसेवेसारख्या समाजकार्यातून सुरू झालेला प्रवास ‘प्रहार’ पक्ष स्थापना करण्यापर्यंत पोहोचला. आज ‘प्रहार’च्या माध्यमातून ही रुग्णसेवा मोठ्या प्रमाणावर राबवली जाते. गरीब माणसाचे दुःख किती मोठे असते? साधा ताप आला तरी त्यांच्याजवळ औषधाला पैसा नसतो. मग त्यांना हृदयरोगासारखा आजार झाला तर? त्यांनी तसेच मरावे का? गाडगेबाबांच्या भूमीतले आपण. त्यांच्या विचारांना मूठमाती द्यावी का? नाही ना! बच्चुभाऊ आणि ‘प्रहार’ पक्ष नेमके हेच करतो. गरिबांले मदत. वरील छायाचित्रात बच्चुभाऊंनी खेड तालुक्यातल्या सहा मुलींना त्यांच्या शस्त्रक्रियेचा खर्च करण्यासाठी दत्तक घेतले.

प्रहार’ची काठी, अपंगांच्या मदतीसाठी! ‘जगात कोण गरीब आणि कोण श्रीमंत?’ या प्रश्‍नावर बच्चुभाऊंचा उत्तर म्हणजे- ‘जो अपंग आहे तो गरीब आणि अपंग नाही तो श्रीमंत.’ बच्चुभाऊंच्या विचारांची कुवतच त्यांना असामान्य ठरवते. मदत कुणाला, कुठे, कशी करावी हे बच्चुभाऊंकडूनच शिकावं. रुग्णसेवा करता करता रक्तदान-नेत्रदान. आणि पुन्हा अपंगांचे प्रश्‍न-समस्या. बच्चूभाऊंनी आजपर्यंत अनेक अपंगांना हरतर्‍हेने मदत केली आहे. बच्चुभाऊंनी स्वतःचं लग्न थाटामाटात करण्यापेक्षा त्यातील खर्चातून अपंगांना मदत करणं महत्त्वाचं वाटलं. त्यावेळी त्यांनी --- अपंगांना व्हीलचेअर देऊन मदत केली. आता त्यांची दृष्टी एका वेगळ्याच लक्ष्याकडे आहे. अपंगांसाठी व्यापक उपक्रम राबवण्यासाठी ते प्रयत्नरत आहेत. अपंग मेळावे आणि शिबीरांच्या माध्यमातून त्यांचे प्रश्‍न-समस्या समजावून घेत आहेत. त्या समस्यांवर दूरदृष्टी ठेवून उपाययोजना कशा राबवता येतील यासाठी त्यांनी मोर्चेबांधणी सुरू केली आहे. येत्या काळात अपंगांना बच्चुभाऊंच्या रूपाने त्यांच्या हिताची जपणूक करणारा कार्यकर्ता आणि नेता मिळालेला असेल, हे अगदी नक्की!
