Before joining in active politics Sri Majhi had established an organisation named Garib Sena whose sole aim was to expose the corruption around benefits meant for common deprived people at the village level. During that period he conducted massive agitation in Gram Panchayat levels and Block levels on the mismanagement of welfare schemes which were meant for rural people like rice and kerosene.
AICC Vice-President Rahul Gandhi discovered him under the Youth Congress 'Talent Search for Youth' conducted in Bhubaneswar where he stood first in the state level. Pradeep Majhi started his political career as elected President of Zilla Parishad from Nabarangpur.
