Nilam put a great deal of emphasis on social welfare. He founded a foundation with a focus on rural Nepal through which he intend to improve the quality of life of   many of the underprivileged people of Nepal .Till date more than 80,000 rural individual people are served from foundation to get access on their self-sufficiency in water, health, education and livelihood along with the Community Hospital established in 2008.

He believes that providing opportunity to the left behind people would result in more productive output and encourage the society to treat everyone equally.
