He started working as a child labourer. He joined a volunteering group with Indian Red Cross & St. John Ambulance, In 2010 his struggle to save his sister from child marriage and dowry by surviving amidst vulnerability motivated him to work for most vulnerable population for which he established the “Ladli Foundation.”
