Hello Saurabh,
Congratulations to your success! Good Job!
I bet the feeling right after receiving the message that you have done it, was priceless and worth all the effort, right?!
Celebrate and enjoy this success, you deserve it!
? But like you may know: After certification is before RE-CERTIFICATION! ?
First it seems to be more than enough time (3 Years) to earn the needed 60 PDU’s, but you shouldn’t underestimate this challenge (like you didn’t with your preparation, right?).
You should plan and - just start right now - (how) to earn your PDU’s for re-certification.
Here are some recommendations therefore:
A very good opportunity to earn PDU’s with less effort and – more important! – on a regular basis is the PDU-Podcast by the PrepCast-Crew:
? Free PDUs for PMP Renewal and Recertification
? http://wren.cf/7g If you already a member of PMI, than you are automatically a PREMIUM Member at projectmagement.com also! Did you know that?! And therefore you have the option to earn free Category A PDU’s at projectmanagement.com just by watching their webinars and other material.
? (source: http://www.projectmanagement.com/membership/premium.cfm) Since a regular pm.com Premium Membership is at cost of 249$/Year and a PMI Membership costs only 129$/Year this is a great benefit (and there is a ton of helpful material at pm.com like thousands of templates, presentations, articles and so on …)
Another option is to earn PDU’s just to continue earning certifications like the ACP-Exam for instance; this would provide you 37 PDU’s towards your PMP Re-Certification; that is more than the half you need!:

Markus gave an excellent answer. My company has made available a large selection of Harvard ManageMentor (TM) courses which can also be used under the current educational programs. I enjoy the self-paced nature versus a webinar, but find that the PM.com webinars allow me to explore a variety of topics, and I love the pace and timing of them. Check them out if you haven't!
