In July 2021, he started preparing for the highly competitive MPSC examination. Through relentless efforts and dedicated study, he finally achieved success and secured a government officer position.

His remarkable success has brought immense pride to his family and the entire village of Ghodgaon. Former Cooperation Minister Dilip Walse Patil, along with other villagers, extended their congratulations to Siddheshwar, recognizing his inspiring journey.
