How did you become the president of NBA?
After the formation of Democratic government, National Sports Council announced for the election of every Sports association. So, NBA followed the order of NSC and we become the first elected body from ad-hoc committee.
It is alleged that you became president by political force and muscles power?
It is absolutely wrong. I would have been the president of ad-hoc committee one year before, if I had used political power. I had already been vice-president of NBA. Except ex-president, everybody of previous committee took part in election are in elected committee. We are the first elected committee and other are following us. Whereas the question of muscles power, we can use it positively also. I'm using it to establish system,
law and order to eradicate hooliganism, and vandalism.

What are your achievements after you head the committee?
Within two months period we are spreading in seven districts. We are working for basketball academy. Social worker Mr. Raju Shrestha facillated us for 10 ropanee land in Budhanilkantha, we have plan to complete it within one and half year.
How you are envisioning in term to promote the basketball?
I am inspired by the” Vision 2020” set by Nepal Sports Council. Within that framework, we had done research and found out that Tharu communities in Far Western Region are comparatively taller since the game needs heighty players. So we are focusing to train them to produce future players. NBA is going to organize South Asian level basketball competition which is first in its kind in South Asia.
