There was no Congress organisation in the Princely States before India achieved independence. An organisation in the name of Gana Parishad used to work in Hill Tripura as a substitute of Congress. It may be noted that in the pre-independent India Princely Tripura was known as “Hill Tripura” and there was also a Tipperah District of the then Bengal province adjacent to it. The people of Hill Tripura were also involved in freedom movement of the country and had close relations with their counterparts in British India. There was, however, no political agitation against the Maharaja of Tripura.

From 1946 Sachin-da extensively toured the Hills and dales of Tripura for organisational work. He had special love and care for the hills’ people. Sometime in 1950 he organised a Tribal Conference, inviting tribal leaders from all parts of Tripura at village Bagafa in Belonia sub-division, which was inaugurated by the then Chief Commissioner, Mr. K K Hazra, ICS. About 200 Tribal people attended the conference.
Deeply impressed and influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, he became a loyal follower, first of Gandhi, and then of Jawaharlal Nehru. Following independence in 1947
In 1953, at Sachin-da’s initiative, Tribal rehabilitation work (1st in Tripura) started at Bagafa with financial support from the Prime Minister’s Fund.

He took care of the refugees from East Pakistan for their rehabilitation. It was due to his endeavour that a large number of refugees got rehabilitated.
