Advani founded Union Academy, a coed school in Hyderabad, Sindh, British India (now Pakistan).
In Kolkata, Advani met Shri Keshab Chandra Sen and Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, who inspired him to become an educator.
Advani had to convince parents to send their daughters to his school as education of girls was not widely accepted in that era.
In 1886, Advani started a newspaper Sind Sudhar , where he remained as the chief editor for three years.
Advani served as editor and regularly contributed essays, stories and literary articles.
