He has made successful efforts in integrating different communities including Rabha, Bodo, Koch and Adivasi people of the area and built the Borengajuli Satra way back in 1952.

Satradhikar Mahanta has also established 27 Satras across the state.

He has been spreading the culture and tradition of Vaishnavism and is a known face of Satriya culture.

He is also the recipient of Pitambar Dev Goswami National Award, 2012 and Apurba Singha Award, 2012 and Satrabhusan title conferred by Barpeta Satra.
