"In the absence of a kindergarten in Kathmandu, the children have not been able to develop as naturally as they should," she said.

Now the children's diary has become school and home. When children are not allowed to play even if they want to, they are not only becoming lonely, they are moving away from social traditions, behaviors, and environment.

"We teach children through sports, but in practice, there is no place to play in the city or in the school," says Karki.

He said that when there is no playground for children, they have to stay at home and when they are at home, not only them but also their parents will be worried and stressed.

"Even if the school is open during the day, the children are forced to spend the rest of the time at home and they are not able to connect with the society. They don't care about anything but mobile and TV, 'she said.

Clinical Psychology Vijay Gyawali says that the lack of open space and kindergarten in the city has slowed down the development of children's mental and spiritual consciousness.

If there was an alternative to mobile and TV, there would be no such problem. '

Infrastructure expert Shri Ram Dhakal says that the lack of kindergarten in Kathmandu and the lack of a child-friendly environment in Kathmandu depends on the importance given by Nepali policymakers, parents, and urban planners to children's issues.

At one time, Tundikhel in Kathmandu was a public playground. Tundikhel was not only a playground but also a shelter during disasters. For example, after the 2072 earthquake, Tundikhel became a public haven.

But now more than half of Tundikhel is under the control of the Nepal Army and half of it is covered with sand and bricks by Kathmandu Metropolitan City. In the small part of the survivors, some youths gather and play games.

Similarly, on 24 Kartik 2072, after the laying of the foundation stone of the commercial building lookout tower in the old bus park of Kathmandu, the bus park was shifted to the open stage. For some time, the bus park became an open platform for political parties to hold meetings and public walks. The gate of the open stage is now locked.

The culture of considering only the construction of big buildings as development is developing. But such developments are destroying natural structures as well as affecting the environment. Its direct effect is in the open. The eyes of various interest groups are fixed on the open space. He is using it to his advantage.

He said that there is a problem in Nepali society and teachers and parents give sports only as a means of entertainment.

‘Children’s playful minds try to play. You learn a lot from the game. What is learned from the game is sustainable and effective. Participating in sports teaches children to be social and practical, 'says Koirala.

He complained that in Nepali society, education is also imparted through sports and there is no thought that sports also help in the physical and mental development of children.

Due to the lack of open space in the city, the food is far away from the city, while the poor are living in the city. They are not able to take the children for a walk in the open. When this happens, the children feel sad.

Koirala says that the more children play, the more they move, and the more clever and motivated they will be to learn. Open space is also important in terms of public health and the environment.

The children of the city have become accustomed to the Ghokante tradition. Koirala says that learning through sports and taking them for a walk in the open will be effective in overcoming that.
