Biraj Bhakta Shrestha| Former Minister of Sports And Youth, Nepal | Colors of the Game | EP. 97

In this episode of New Balance Presents Colors of the Game, we are joined by the former Minister of Sports and Youth of Nepal and a member of the House of Representative Mr. Biraj Bhakta Shrestha. Originally an entrepreneur, Shrestha transitioned into politics through a surprising turn of events. Despite his brief tenure of only four months in the ministry, he immediately set to work. We discuss a wide range of topics, including his first impressions and the challenges of entering the Sports Ministry, life in Kathmandu, and the rise of cyber cafes and e-sports. Shrestha shares insights into his plans and policies, the gap between expectations and reality as a sports minister, and the current scenario and prospects for sports in Nepal.

We delve into the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in sports, the need to decentralize sports, budget considerations, and the commercialization of sports. The conversation covers sports tourism, sports science, priority projects, and the branding of sports. Shrestha reflects on his early days in the ministry, broadcasting challenges, and the role of sports journalists. We explore the organization of international tournaments, the ministry system, societal issues, and the importance of coaching, psychology, female athletes, and sports academies.

Other topics include dedication, the sports budget, leveraging Nepal's natural beauty, sports commentary, innovation, and ideas. Shrestha also addresses betting in Nepal, the culture of banning, digitalization, and the involvement of the private sector in sports. We discuss making sports tax-free, policies for CSR, the development of stadiums in Nepal, and appreciation for sports personnel. This episode provides a comprehensive look at Shrestha's vision and efforts to enhance the sports sector in Nepal.
