He is now working as the Secretary of the Assam and the Bengal Branches of the All India Spinners Association. Under the inspiring lead Bengal is making remarkable progress in the production of Khaddar.
His absolute sincerity of purpose, his contemptuous disregard for applause and the charm of his genial manners have made him into an ideal worker in the Congress ranks.
