He completed upper primary schooling till grade seven and then initially started to work at a provisional store to support his family.
He has been an active voice in raising the local issues faced by his village since a very young age and used to frequently write columns in newspapers to draw the government's attention to these problems.
At that time, writers of columns were also asked to send photographs for their articles and this prompted Shri Poojari to purchase a camera and learn photography.
Even during his life as a photographer, he continued engaging in raising people's struggles and tribulations ensuring that their requests are heard and heeded.
He led the fight for distribution of Sec 94C title deeds to people by organising a "Padayatra" across the Udupi district and petitioned to the Assistant Commissioner's office.
Poojari is widely regarded as a simple and uncorrupt politician admired for his oratory skills and service oriented initiatives.
