She has hung her shiny medals on the food stall which shows, if given chance in future she could get many more for India. But Pushpa discontinued her practice as the rifles which is needed for shooting are very expensive and her family could not afford it.
In year 2013, she had joined the NCC and took training in shooting. In the same year Pushpa represented Gujarat and won a Gold and a silver medal.
