After his stint in the Indian army, he returned to his hometown Chandrapur where he married Sapna, a school teacher. Even though he was happily married and started a new life with a small grocery shop, the couple felt something was missing and wanted to do something for the society.

Nihar joined an NGO called Sankalp Sanstha which used to collect waste papers from and sell them for money to donate to schools and help physically challenged children. With the collected money, the couple even took these children to meet the then president of India, Mrs. Pratibha Patil.
