Jibananand's literary life began to develop. When Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das died in June 1925, Jibanananda wrote a poem titled 'Deshbandhu Prayane' in his memory, which was published in Bangabani. The poem later replaced his first poetry collection Jhara Pal. The poem Kalidas Roy commented on the poem, and this poem must have been written in the pseudonym of an established poet.

Since then, he started writing Das instead of his title Das Gupta.

He lost his job at City College for the first few months of publication of the first volume of poetry. Student dissatisfaction arises in the center of the religious festival; As a result, the rate of students in the college decreases alarmingly. Jibanananda was the youngest among the teachers of the college and after the economic inconvenience, College dismissed him. His poetry was faced with a serious criticism at Kolkata's literary circles. Renowned literary critic Sajanikanta Das of the time, was indulged in the criticism of his writings on Saturday's letter. Since there was no work to do in Calcutta, the poet joined the small town of Prafulla Chandra College in Bagerhat as a teacher. But after three months he returned to Calcutta.
