Golden Girl ‘Swapna Barman’ could pull off with a little help from Corporate Scholarship  

HyderabadGreat Sports Infra, South Asia’s leading provider of turnkey solutions for sports infrastructure, is proud to support Ms. Swapna Barman, a Gold Medallist in Heptathlon, Asian Games 2018.

Swapna Barman is a gifted athlete who was placed first in the Heptathlon at the 2017 Asian Athletics Championships. Barman was born in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal in 1996. She has overcome major hurdles and challenges in life, one of them being her 6 toes which can be very painful at times. She hails from a very humble background wherein her mother worked on a tea estate and her father was a rickshaw driver.
