Though, he couldn’t collect enough funds to support his basic needs and training together.  He purchased good quality of spikes, met training expenses and other basic requirements for the big event with the encouragement, help and support from people in his village and a small business house. The Sarpanch of Ajaib, Samunder Singh Nain, said the village contributed Rs 4.5 lakh last year.

His hardships do not end here as even after setting new records and getting selected for Olympics his participation was cancelled because of failing a doping test and he might face a ban of up to four years as per the World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines.
