However, her husband, Gajanan, who had been sent to gain market experience after their marriage, returned to assist. His experience proved invaluable, and he did not give up. Together with the entire staff and by gaining the trust of parents, they managed the academy more vigorously. Due to their perseverance and relentless effort, out of 170 students, 2 were selected for the National Military School, 46 for Sainik School, and 5 for Jawahar Navodaya.
