Luvsangombo Namjil was born in Hatanbulag sum, Dornogobi aimag in 1926. Hs parents gave him for adoption to another family, so he called his adopted parents as foster-parents.

He started his work career as a bookkeeper at the collective and worked as a brigade head, bag darga, and senior agitator for about 20 years. After that he herded collective livestock from 1971-1990.
