Throughout his teaching career, he educated more than 3,000 students including Dr. Baburam Bhattarai and Late Dr. Upendra Devkota. Later on in his life, he retired from teaching to dedicate his life to improving agriculture methods in his village. Today he is living a healthy life in Gorkha-- reading books, practicing yoga and observing religious pujas.
