'Children taker' to Care taker:
As he was responsible for the children he took with him, he used to take proper care of the children. The children were very small and they even could not do their self cleaning. The children could not bath themselves. They were not used to use water after toilet. Janardan Maharaj himself washed their toilets. He bathed them properly and also washed their clothes on daily basis. He taught them the lessons of cleanness. His greatness lies in the action. He never scolded the children before anyone or publicly. He knew the nature of the adivasi students. They can bear the hardest punishment but they would never bear an insult. One insulting word can spoil their whole life. He was also the superintendent of the school so he had his keen eye on the food pupils got in the school.
Janardan Maharaj did not pay as much attention towards his own children as he done for the children of the people. At times he was very strict. He filed cases against some parents who were not sending their children to the school after registration. He deliberately managed the clerk in the court that the parents were called to the court during the rainy season. That helped him much for his better administration. Janardan Maharaj needed some help from other people. He was teacher and superintendent in the school. This was the first Ashram School in Dhule District aided by Central Government. Before that only two of them were in Gujrat. Shri Chhotubhai Vasava from Dang District ran one Ashram School in that area for Adivasi children. He could not get the cook for the Ashram. His mother helped him in that noble cause. She herself cooked the food for the children. Afterwards Janardan Maharaj helped the Pashchim Khandesh Bhill Seva Mandal in setting up the next Ashram School at Surwani Tal. Akrani in 1958-59. He became the vice president of the institution and still he is vice president.
