Born on January 10, 1916, at Jaitu, Seth Ram Nath was among those who did not trade their principles for personal gain. As a child, he was a witness to the famous Jaitu March in 1923. He had his early education at Jaitu, Faridkot and Moga.

A true Gandhian, Nath, was detained for two years in Nabha Central Jail for participating in the Quit India Movement in 1942. He was also the inspiration behind the setting up of a high school for Harijans, the Tilak Library and Gandhi Samark Nidhi, among others. He was the president of Nabha State Parja Mandal for 20 years and chairman of the anti-corruption board of the Pepsu government.
