Spearheading the Establishment and Implementation of Sports Insurance Directives
I am proud to announce a landmark achievement during my tenure. Under the National Sports Development Regulations 2079, which is now an officially recognized Act, we have successfully secured prize money for Nepali athletes who win international medals. This significant milestone ensures that our athletes receive the recognition and financial rewards they deserve for their dedication and excellence on the global stage.
Before this regulation, Nepali athletes who excelled in international competitions often faced uncertainty regarding their prize money. Despite their remarkable achievements, the lack of guaranteed rewards was a major issue, affecting their morale and financial stability. Recognizing the need for change, I led the initiative to incorporate legal guarantees for prize money into the National Sports Development Regulations 2079.
Implementing this regulation required navigating complex legal and administrative processes. It involved extensive collaboration with stakeholders, including government bodies, sports associations, and legal experts. The National Sports Development Regulations 2079 Act was meticulously designed to ensure that all Nepali international medalists receive timely and fair financial rewards. Some of the notable achievements I got to share includes:
- Legal Guarantee: For the first time, Nepali athletes winning international medals are legally assured of receiving their prize money. This eliminates past uncertainties and provides a stable and predictable reward system.
- Boosted Morale: This initiative significantly enhances the morale of our athletes, encouraging them to aim higher and perform better in international competitions.
- Promotion of Excellence: By securing prize money, we are promoting a culture of excellence and motivating future generations to pursue sports with renewed vigor and commitment.

Impact and Legacy
The legal assurance of prize money for international medalists has already had a positive impact on the lives of many Nepali athletes. This initiative sets a new benchmark for the treatment and recognition of our sports champions. It underscores Nepal’s commitment to supporting its athletes and provides a solid foundation for the future development of sports in the country.
Lastly, I want to say that securing prize money for international medalists under the National Sports Development Regulations 2079 is a proud achievement of my tenure as the Member Secretary of the National Sports Council of Nepal. This initiative not only celebrates the hard-earned victories of our athletes but also ensures a brighter and more secure future for Nepali sports. It reflects our unwavering commitment to honoring and supporting the excellence of Nepali athletes on the global stage.
