He had a very severe disease and had failed the first line treatment. Because of his ailment he had to discontinue his studies. The treatment of this deadly disease is very expensive (around 5-6 lakh/annum). His family is very poor. Though this disability has darkened his prime time of youth, he treated life with lot of confidence and enthusiasm. Due to hard work he was successful in achieving a government job and start two charitable societies, ALL IS WELL-charity federation for differently abled and ASIF- Ankylosing Spondilitis Indian Federation (patient federation) .Main objective of these societies was to gain confidence and conduct welfare activities through medias like short film, documentaries, music videos. This give awareness and information slowly to the society and to open the eyes of the concerned authorities. Saijo made the first Indian documentary about Ankylosing Spondlitis patient suffering through ASIF. IDSFFK selected his music video "Lottery Vikkana Josephettan" presentation from "ALL IS WELL" charitable society for differently abled . Majority of the lottery sellers are disabled. But they play the prominent role of contributing to the social welfare of their family and the society through the Karunya lottery-benevolent fund. So the disabled lottery sellers are not zeroes , but in fact they are real heroes. Saijo made 4 short films(Naalathe Bhaghyavan, Amen. Vikalam, Thavalam...chavum Meenum Chavum Chachikuttiyum Chavum ), 2 documentaries (HLAB27, Pambu Jeevitham), advertisement film (Radhayum Rajuvum), music video(Lottery Vikana Josephettan).
