KATHMANDU, Aug 29: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has promised that the government will pay maximum attention to increasing service facilities including physical infrastructure for sportspersons.
PM Oli said this while addressing a program organized to honor women volleyball players at the Prime Minister's residence, Baluwatar.
Municipalities without facilities
The PM said that although the country's economy is not in a very good state, he will prioritize enhancing the perks and benefits of the sportspersons as much as possible. Stating that sportspersons themselves have expressed a need for a covered hall for the volleyball team, the PM mentioned that the government is working towards this end. He said that if a covered hall is built in each province and district, it will facilitate easier practice for players, and the government is actively working towards this goal.
He said, “Learning requires adaptability and environment. Where to learn, how to learn; the current team has also shared their experience regarding this. A covered hall is essential for continuous learning, and also for all seasons. We do not have a covered hall. We are currently discussing a covered hall. If it becomes available at the provincial level as well as at the district level, sportspersons can practice there. The players need such facilities.”
