"Lack of basic amenities" is the subject of the sentence. The verb "prevent" is followed by the gerund form, which is "from becoming." So, the correct structure is "prevent + someone/something + from + gerund." Therefore, the correct construction "did not prevent Kalidas from becoming a great poet."
