Ravibhai was very much aware of shortcomings of Indian society and was always ready to do something about it. This may have been due to the unhappy married life of his young sister. In 1940-50 period he was instrumental to conceiving and creating a moving exhibition of some 50 posters titled "Samsar Chitravali" to bring social awareness of these problems. A lot of villages in Gujarat took part in organizing displays for their people. Ravibhai never charged any fee, just the expenses for getting and returning the posters. Some paintings from this collection are presented here
