In 1966, Maharashtra was struck by a terrible famine. Panshikar toured for a whole month, staging shows of his latest hit play, 'Ashrunchi Zaali Phule' and presented the Govt. Of Maharashtra with Rs. 22,000 for the Famine Relief Fund.

Panshikar toured all over Goa and raised funds totaling Rs. 66,000 which he handed over to the Gomantak Marathi Academy, for construction of the 'Marathi Bhavan'.

A Senior Journalist from Pune, Mr. Vasudeo Kulkarni was desperately in need of a kindly transplant. Panshikar staged a special Charity show of 'To Mee Navech' at BalGandharva RangaMandir', Pune and handed over the proceeds to Mr. Kulkarni.
