Former lawmaker and Rastriya Swatantra Party central member Vinita Kathayat has been nominated to the main organising committee of Nepal’s 10th National Games. Education and Sports Minister Sasmit Pokharel appointed Kathayat to the committee as preparations continue for the event, which is scheduled to take place in various districts of Karnali Province from Mangsir 16 to 27.
Kathayat appointed to the organising committee
Kathayat’s nomination adds her to the committee responsible for the main organisation of the national sporting event. The appointment was made by Minister Pokharel, who holds the Education and Sports portfolio. The information provided on the nomination does not specify when the appointment was made or detail Kathayat’s particular responsibilities within the committee.
Kathayat is identified as both a former lawmaker and a central member of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). Her appointment brings a political figure with those roles into the organising body for the Games. No further information was provided about the selection process, the committee’s full membership or whether additional appointments are expected.
Games scheduled across Karnali Province
The 10th National Games are planned for Mangsir 16 to 27, with competitions to be held in various districts of Karnali Province. The schedule therefore places the event across multiple locations in the province rather than identifying a single host district. The available announcement does not name the districts, venues or sports included in the programme.
The dates have been stated in the Nepali calendar as Mangsir 16 to 27. No corresponding dates in the Gregorian calendar were specified in the information about Kathayat’s appointment. The announcement also did not provide details about participant numbers, accommodation, transport or arrangements at individual venues.
Committee role and remaining details
Kathayat’s nomination is one reported development in the organisation of the 10th National Games. Her place on the main organising committee connects her appointment to preparations for an event that will be hosted across Karnali Province. However, the announcement did not describe the committee’s work plan or outline how its members will coordinate arrangements among the different districts.
Further details about the committee’s composition and the Games programme were not included in the information available on the appointment. For now, the confirmed details are Kathayat’s nomination by Education and Sports Minister Sasmit Pokharel and the planned Mangsir 16-27 schedule in various districts of Karnali Province.
