For want of economic resources, he could not obtain his higher education after matriculation. Those were the days of Gandhiji. Under the influence and instructions of Gandhiji, he dedicated himself to the service of the nation and to activities for the upliftment of Harijans. He devoted himself to all these activities to such an extent, that he fell seriously ill. The physical misery led him to the notion of committing suicide. But he was saved in one such attempt.
