He went to study further at the Government College for his LLB degree. He is currently the Maharashtra State President of the Nationalist Youth Congress. He is also the President of Samanvaya Pratishthan.[1]
As a result of his dedicated contributions and zeal to strive for the betterment of the common man, he was chosen to fight the biennial elections as a candidate of NCP. However as he was too young for the post, he was declared ineligible and his nomination was withdrawn. Niranjan Davkhare is the founder of Samanvaya Pratishthan.
