Meanwhile, the board meeting decided to hike the allowances of athletes during their international participation. "Earlier, NSC used to provide around $20 per day to an athlete during their international participation in events like South Asian Games, Asian Games and Olympics. Now onward, we´ll provide $50 per day if NSC bears all accommodation expenditure and $150 per day if individual athlete bears his/her accommodation expenditure," said Lama.
Likewise, NSC decided to provide ID cards to all volunteer coaches working under NSC. "Earlier, we didn´t have the exact data on volunteer coaches and they were not recognized properly. Providing ID cards to them is the first step toward recognizing them," said Lama.
