Indian heptathlete Swapna Barman bagged gold in the challenging track and field event at Asian Games 2018, it held at Jakarta and got featured in the FEMINA cover page of the 2019 Jan Issue. Koch Rajbongshi Tribe is proud of her achievement. Earlier this month of December 2018, State Bank of India selected Swapna Barman as the Brand Ambassador for its digital app YONO that makes both lifestyle and banking available through a single app.
The other sportswomen are Rahi Sarnobat, the first Indian woman shooter to win an individual Asian Games gold in the 25m pistol event; and Vinesh Phogat, who won India’s first gold medal in women’s wrestling at Asian Games 2018 and Hima Das, the sprinter from Assam who won a silver medal in the 400m finals.
Femina had played a significant role to promote sportswomen through their avenues which will help Indian sportswomen to come up and represent our country India.
