Early life

He joined army in 1975 and later on he had to resign from army due to some family problems and started working in the fields after that.[11] While working in fields, he realised that the corporations and government exploits farmers and labourers in rural areas, so, he decided to engage in protests and activities organised by farmer unions.[12][13][14] In March 2021, Ugrahan was isolated following a positive COVID-19 test.[15]
