Pandit Sunderlal Sharma was born in 1881 in an aristocratic family of Chamsoor village near Rajim. He was associated with the 'National Peasant Movement', 'Alcohol Prohibition', 'Adivasi Movement', 'Swadeshi Movement' and sacrificed his life for the sake of national freedom. In 1920, 'Kandel Canal Satyagraha' was successfully conducted near Dhamtari, under his leadership. It was because of his efforts that Mahatma Gandhi came to Raipur for the first time on 20th December 1920. He was among the prominent people who were jailed from Chhattisgarh during the 'Non-Cooperation Movement'.
