KATHMANDU, March 23: Minister for Youth and Sports Biraj Bhakta Shrestha has said that the existing sports policy cannot develop the sport sector. Hence, the ministry is working to revise the sports policy of the country.

At an event organized by Nepal Olympic Committee (NOC) in the capital on Friday, he said that the development of sports-oriented policy is needed rather than a policy concentrated on individuals.

He was also of the view that the Olympic Committee has a lot of responsibility if it can work according to international standards. It can contribute a lot in the field of diplomacy through sports.

Furthermore, sports can be a medium to minimize frustration among the youth.

On the occasion, President of Nepal Olympic Committee and former minister Jeevanram Shrestha said that Nepal's sports sector could not be made result-oriented due to instability.
