Rathee never misses a chance to value people who are dedicated, determined and who achieve the glory despite the odds. "I wish Swapna all the best for the Olympics," said Mr. K.S. Rathee. He further stated that the stipend amount would be doubled if she brings any medal in the Olympics.

ASK is proud of Swapna Barman and has decided to pay four cheques of Rs. 3 lakh each, so that the athlete can take care of her basic needs and devote her time for upcoming International Events with full vigor and single-minded dedication. ASK Automotive wishes her all the success in her future endeavors and is confident that she will make the country proud in the Olympics.
