He got immense support from his mother Sitabai, brother Bhausaheb ( Bhausaheb was personal secretary to Raja and later Chief Police Inspector of Miraj State) and wife Mrs Vimaltai in all his works.
When he was posted at The Wanless Hospital in Miraj he saw the plight of helpless orphan children. The very fact that if people come from miles away and serve the poor and needy then why the local people cannot inspired him to start something for the orphan children. He accepted the first orphan baby on 2nd Oct 1948 thus the orphanage was started. Soon the number of children grew. Till 1970 all the expenses of orphanage were done personally by him. In order to meet the growing needs donations were required and Government grant was necessary hence the Pathak Trust was established in 1969.
After his training he joined Karnataka Health Institute, at Ghataprabha and worked under guidance of Dr Kokatnoor as Medical Officer. Then he returned to Miraj to work as medical officer in the Miraj State run Hospital. He established his own Pathak Hospital in Miraj in 1947. He was a very bright surgeon.
