As the Member Secretary of the National Sports Council Nepal, I spearheaded a transformative initiative aimed at optimizing the distribution of resources across sports federations, aligning developmental priorities with the unique needs and opportunities of Nepal’s local market. Recognizing the critical importance of strategic resource allocation in driving sustainable sports development, I championed the categorization of sports federations based on their developmental potential and impact, paving the way for outcome-based resource distribution and government prioritization.

At the heart of this initiative was the recognition that a one-size-fits-all approach to resource allocation would not suffice in a diverse and dynamic sporting landscape like Nepal’s. To address this challenge, I collaborated closely with stakeholders from across the sports sector, including federations, government agencies, and industry experts, to devise a comprehensive framework for categorizing sports federations according to key criteria such as participation levels, competitive success, grassroots engagement, and market demand.

Through rigorous analysis and consultation, we identified three distinct categories of sports federations:

High-Potential Federations (A): Federations with significant growth potential and strategic importance to Nepal’s sports ecosystem were categorized as high-potential. These federations received enhanced resource allocation and government prioritization to support their development initiatives, drive participation, and elevate competitive performance on the national and international stage.

Emerging Federations (B): Federations representing sports with growing popularity and untapped market potential were categorized as emerging. While these federations may not yet have achieved widespread recognition or competitive success, they were identified as promising areas for investment and expansion, receiving targeted support to stimulate grassroots participation, talent development, and infrastructure enhancement.

Established Federations (C): Federations representing sports with a well-established presence and sustained competitive success were categorized as established. These federations received continued support to maintain their momentum, enhance their infrastructure, and further consolidate their position as pillars of Nepal’s sporting landscape.

By categorizing sports federations based on their developmental trajectory and aligning resource allocation with strategic priorities, we ensured a more equitable and effective distribution of resources, maximizing the impact of government investment and fostering sustainable growth across the entire sports sector.

The outcome-based distribution of resources and government prioritization enabled us to harness the full potential of Nepal’s sporting talent, infrastructure, and market opportunities, driving inclusive development and fostering a culture of excellence and innovation. This achievement represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to build a vibrant, resilient, and globally competitive sports ecosystem that enriches the lives of all Nepali citizens. As Member Secretary of the National Sports Council Nepal, I am proud to have played a pivotal role in this transformative endeavor, knowing that it will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
