+ Years in public life
From 1969 - 1971 as the Chairman of N.P Raghogarh, several significant works were undertaken:
- Prior to 1969, Raghogarh was facing severe drinking water scarcity. Residents had to fetch water from the mountainous Pach Kuinya at 2 a.m. In order to overcome this crisis, a comprehensive town's water supply scheme was initiated and the water scarcity issue was resolved to the satisfaction of its citizen.
- Proper arrangements for street lights were made to illuminate the dark roads, ensuring safety and visibility.
- Many roads in the town were in a dilapidated condition with potholes. The roads were repaired and paved with tar, making them motorable.
