His early education was completed at Subaldaha village pathsala (presently Rashbehari Bose F.P School). He studied in the Dupleix College (presently Chandernagore Government College) and befriended with Ras Bihari Bose.[1] Both were inspired by Professor Charuchandra Roy, a nationalist teacher of Chandannagar. Ghosh passed entrance examination in 1905 but due to financial incapacity he left college and join in a temporary work in Hitabadi magazine.[2]

While working in Hitabadi magazine he met Indian nationalist leader Sakharam Ganesh Deuskar.

He attempted to assassinate Tardival, Mayor of Chandernagore, handed over a revolver to Kanailal Dutta in Alipore Central Jail to kill the approver Naren Gnoswami[3] and also attached with Rodda company arms heist. As per instruction of Ras Bihari Bose he made liaison among the revolutionaries of various state. Ghosh roamed all over the India to reorganise the freedom movement under the leadership of Bose and returned safely to Chandannagar, French territory, where the British police could not track him down.[4] Ghosh made arrangements of safe house of Aurobindo Ghosh in 1910, and number of other revolutionaries with the help of Motilal Roy, another senior freedom fighter of the Chandannagar group.[2][5][6]
