==Early life and education ==
Sarwanand was the son of Gopi Nath Koul and Omravati Koul, who were members of the [[Kashmiri Pandit]] family of Soaf-Shali (ancient [[Sanskrit]] name: Supt-Shaleshwar) village in [[Kashmir]]'s [[Anantnag district|Anantnag]] district. They were a farming family and used to live in the village of Sof-Shali, near the [[Kokernag|Kokarnag]] tourist area in the Anantnag District of Kashmir. Premi's father was the first matriculate to receive further education.

After his initial schooling, Premi was admitted to mission High School in Anantnag where from he passed his Matriculation in 1939 and enrolled in [[Punjab University, Lahore]]. Later, he obtained his [[B.A. and Hon's in Hindi(Prabhakar)]] from Pnjab University, [[M.A.]] and [[B.Ed.]] degrees from [[Jammu and Kashmir University]]. From 1942 to 1946, he worked underground for the [[Quit India Movement]] and was arrested six times during this period.

For a few years he worked for the Village and the Khadi Industries Board (a state enterprise) as well as the Industries Department of Punjab. He returned to Kashmir and joined the education department of Jammu and Kashmir as a teacher from 1954-1977.<ref>[http://www.shehjar.com/list/16/87/1.html Pandita, R. (2007). ''Pt. Sarwanand Kaul Premi''. Retrieved from http://www.shehjar.com/list/16/87/1.html]</ref>

==Personal life ==

In 1948, he married Oma who came from the village of Hangalgund (Anantnag). They had 3 sons and 4 daughters.

== Work ==

His poetry was primarily focused on the common suffering of the Kashmiri people. His early work was written in Hindi and Urdu, but he later began writing in Kashmiri as well, on the advice of [[Zinda Kaul|Zinda Koul]], a renowned poet, and a contemporary. He was often in the company of other poets like Zinda Koul, and [[Ghulam Ahmed Mehjoor]]. It was Mehjoor who gave him the name "Premi" (meaning Lover) because his poetry was full of love for Kashmir.

He could read and write in Hindi, Urdu, English, and Kashmiri and understood Persian and Sanskrit.
