    Ashok Soren had won 2 gold medals at the 2008 South Asian Games.

    This move by the Sports Ministry comes as a big relief for the player.

    Earlier, the Sports Ministry also assisted Arjuna awardee archer Limba Ram, who is suffering from a neuro generative disease.

    Besides Ram, Rs. 5 lakh was also granted to ailing archer Gohela Boro.
