New Delhi is beaming with pride to host the Commonwealth
Games 2010. India's distinct culture, where the traditional is successfully
combined with the modern, will make the Delhi Games special. Right
now what you see and really experience are the infra structural changes
that are taking place, to be honest, on daily basis. But now we even
have news from across the country informing us about the preparation
of athletes. India will be only the third developing country to host
the event after Jamaica in 1966 and Malaysia in 1998. This is only
the second time the event will be held in Asia. The success of these
games may also strengthen India's bid for 2016 Summer Olympics. This
will be the biggest multi-sport event conducted in the India. In past
New Delhi has proudly experienced playing host to the Asian Games
in 1951 and 1982 (Asiad). Preparations are in full swing Sand New
Delhi is comfortably meeting all the target dates. Every venue event
is getting ready for the important year. The proposed dates for the
Games are 3 - 14 October 2010 inclusive of the Opening and Closing
Ceremonies.
