Bajang was given Rs 1 lakh for his silver medal winning effort in the men's freestyle 61kg wrestling event at the Glasgow Games.
Speaking on the occasion Bajrang said, "I am overwhelmed with the appreciation I have received from Omaxe and fellow countrymen for my performance in wrestling.
"We are proud that the Central and State Government and other people have started to recognise our efforts and we need more people to come forward and initiate efforts towards popularising the sport."
"I take this opportunity to congratulate Bajrang Punia and all the winners from India at the CWG 2014. It gives me enormous pleasure to see the outstanding performance of sportsperson from Haryana. And in an endeavour to promote home grown sports, we have taken this initiative to honour one of the winners and in future we want to encourage the youth who wish to take any sport as a career and bring more laurels for India," Goel said.
Our commitment towards Haryana, in particular, has been immense in bringing about both developmental and lifestyle change through our projects in cities like Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, Faridabad, Sonepat, Palwal and Yamuna Nagar," he added.
