Recreation and Sports is an integral part of human being, for it is the sole factor that develops the mentality, personality and feelings of men istinguishing them from their contemporary earth creatures. It has become not only the means of entertainment but also a human right and means of establishing national glory in recent years.
It is also equally essential for person with disabilities (PWDs) with the help of which they can lead a life of dignity and self respect. The recreation & sports for PWDs has been establishing an important status in modern world of International Sports.
If we look into the history of Nepalese sports of (PWDs), disabled athletes have been actively participated various International competition for last 25 years and received many medals and prizes.
Although efforts have been made by the Government to make a policy and implement carious activities to respect the dignity of disabled people, in practice very little has been done. There is a wide gap between the demand and the provision of services to them.
Till date we are not able to respect the disabled athletes properly because of the lack of resources, and skilled man power and absence of long term vision.
Hence, with a view to extend cooperation and coordination with all the
concerned agencies and to conduct the sports competition for the disabled
around the kingdom regularly and International Participation, "National Para
Sports Association-Nepal" has been established.
"National Part Sports Association – Nepal" is a national, non – political, autonomous organization established in 2000 AD.with the approval
of HMG Nepal and registered accordingly to the act 2034. It's central office
is in Kathmandu and branches will be extended throughout the kingdom if
necessary.
