Shankar Guha Niyogi was almost universally honored as an honest and nonviolent labor leader. He founded the Chhattisgarh Mines Shramik Sangh (CMSS), and served as its organizing secretary for the last fourteen years of his life. He championed the cause not only of the mine workers who formed his primary base in Dalli-Rajahara (Durg District, Madhya Pradesh), but also of textile mill workers in Rajnandgaon, contract workers in Bhilai, and mine workers in Bilaspur District. In fact, he was more than just a trade unionist, as he helped to organize adivasis (tribals) from Bastar and the rural poor throughout the region. He fought tirelessly not only for their economic rights but for their social and political betterment. His novel methods of implementing social reforms won him national recognition
