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 distinguishing 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.

Its also equally essential for a person with disabilities (PWDs) with the help of
which they can lead a life of dignity and self-respect. The recreation & sports far
PWD has been establishing as an important status in the modern world of
International Sports. If we took into the history of Nepalese sports of (PWDs),
disabled athletes have been actively participating in various international
competitions for fast 35 years and also have received many medals and prizes.
Although efforts have been made by the Government to make a policy and
Implement various activities to respect the dignity of @sabled people, but to
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 property because of the lack of cf resources, skilled manpower,
stadium halls, enough government commitment and absence of long term vision,
Hence, with a view to extending cooperation and coordination with all the
concerned agencies and to conduct the sports competitions for the disabled
around the kingdom regularly and International Participation “National
Paralympic Committee (NPC) -Nepal” has been established.

Nepal had consistently participated in the Far East and South Pacific Games
for the Disabled (FESPIC) since 1975. And recently Asian Paralympic Committee
is formed under the IPC. Now APC is covering almost all Paralympic sports for
the disabled in Asia along with the participation in each Paralympic games.
Nepalese Athletes Left an initial history of international participation in disabled
sports by FESPIC games and then Athens 2004 Paralympic Games being able to
make significant achievement.

For the first time in the year 2004, the National Paralympic Committee
enabled Nepal’s participation to Athens 2004 Paralympic games with four
Members delegation among which two were disabled, one female Athlete with
visually impaired.

After the Olympic Gate open in 2004 Nepal has been able to participate in each
Paralympic games like Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and Adan Youth Pala Games
2009, Tokyo Japan is the concrete evidence of the ability to participate of
NPC in such important events.

Furthermore, Asian Paralympic Games 2010, Guangzhou, China has become
another historical participation with a large number of athletes including
wheelchairs and also women athletes of wheelchair bound. The London 2012
Paralympic Games are also taking in a priority list of international participation.
Simultaneously the training of the athletes and coaches in the country and
abroad are also in the list of the current action plan of NPC Nepal.

It is also considered a very important aspect that the national sports council (NSC),
Nepal Olympic Committee (NOC), National Federation of the Disabled (NFD), and
some other sports organizations for a person with disabilities working in national
level, necessary co-operation, and coordination is admired as an important support
of NPC for the enhancement and upliftment in the country.
