While cultivating rice and wheat in the same field, Sardar earned an annual income of 25,000 rupees. The income from fish was three times that of food crops. According to him, at that time, the price of fish and bran required for fish was four rupees per kg. Fish was sold at Rs 60/70 per kg.

The father supported his son's plan. Punya had not acquired the knowledge of fish farming when he started making profits. Although there was a rush to gain knowledge, there was no opportunity. Meanwhile, government officials came to the village in 2062 and conducted training on fish farming. He acquired technical knowledge by participating in short-term training. He said, "That training became the turning point of my business expansion, immediately after the training I dug ponds in 15 more katthas and started full commercial fish farming." After that, he did not have to look back. He is now known not only in the district but also in the country because of fish farming. There are many who admire him.

Due to which the commercial fish farmers in Rupandehi are increasing daily.

is a good example for newbies. Due to being recognized as the best in fish farming, Punya has been awarded dozens of local and national awards. Those who are making the leap from commercial fish farming are not without complaints with the government of Pune. He said that people are suffering from problems such as fish being smuggled from India, increase in interest on agricultural loans, high cost of feed, increasing income tax and electricity tariff when fish farming is kept as an industrial city. "By solving such problems, the government would have given concessions and the country would have become self-sufficient because of many farmers like me," he said. "First of all, the border should be tightened." "It is not that the government has not helped, it is normal to see but there are problems that are affecting the farmers a lot, they should be solved," he said, "Farmers also need international level training and visits."
