People having different ability can be an important part in the development of the sports and can lead a life like an able person by participating in sports.
Speakers at a workshop entitled �Advocacy and Awareness for People with Different Ability (PWD) Project" also spoke of the need to include disabled persons in sports so that the sports reach can be expanded in the society.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the workshop, organised by PWD Project of National Sports Council, Minister of State for Education and Sports, Mohan Singh Rathour said that the meaning of disabled persons should be re defined in the changing context. State Minister said that the trend of players leaving for foreign nations has increased because the nation had been unable to provide justifiably adequate importance to sports and players.
NSC Member Secretary Jeevan Ram Shrestha said that the idea of making differently able persons the part of Nepali sports is new one, which would help to expedite development of the games in a very new way.
Shrestha said that sports should not be confined to the reach of the able persons and must be developed as the per need of the 21st century. Sports must reach to children, adults able and disable, he added. Shrestha also noted that due to resource constraint, the NSC is unable to launch all activities together.
Noted journalist Yuvraj Ghimire said that disabled persons must also attempt to utilize the opportunities that come to their way because the Nepali society is itself disabled in various way.
The society's attitude of not providing whatever it could is a sign of the society going handicapped, Ghimire said.
Accroding to the organisers, more than 30 differently able persons participated at the workshop and actively participated in group discussions. NSC's Ramesh Khanal had presented the papers on the ways and importance of including disable persons in sports.
