She has been named in the Indian contingent for the upcoming Asian Games. She  has joined the team in Finland from Czech Republic where she has been training after the Guwahati event.

A 15-member 400m team (7 women and 8 men) has been sent by the Athletics Federation of India at the Praha Jablonec Sports Complex near Prague as part of preparations for the Asian Games.

Das is leading a 31-member Indian athletics team at the six-day championship and she is not the only athlete who will be competing for medals.
