He completed his B.Sc. in 1970 from Mahanand Mission Harijan (M.M.H) College in Ghaziabad. Tyagi’s upbringing in Ghaziabad and his early education laid the groundwork for a lifetime in public life and politics.
Career
Tyagi’s political work spans several decades and includes roles at both party and parliamentary levels. Early in his career he held youth leadership posts: he was General Secretary of the All India Yuva Janata Party from 1977 to 1980, served as Vice-President of Yuva Lok Dal from 1980 to 1984, and worked as Secretary of Lok Dal from 1984 to 1988.

He entered national parliamentary politics with election to the 9th Lok Sabha from the Hapur constituency, serving from 1989 to 1991. During his first term he chaired the Central Warehousing Corporation and was appointed to several parliamentary panels and committees, including the Committee on Papers Laid on the Table, the Estimates Committee, the House Committee, the General Purposes Committee, and the Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Urban Development. Tyagi also represented India in youth delegations to Cuba, the USSR and Vietnam, and served as Official Media Advisor to former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s Tyagi remained active in electoral politics. He contested Lok Sabha elections on multiple occasions—standing as a JDU candidate in 1991, as a Samajwadi Party candidate in 1996, and again for JDU from Meerut in 2004—but those later bids were unsuccessful.
