Aid To Other Industry:

Indian government is working very hard to fulfill its goal beforethe targeted time. This event will play a key role in boostingmany industries and sectors such as tourism, marketing, aviation,

advertising and hospitality sectors.The government has also extended a five year tax rebate tothe tourism industry to promote the growth of this industry inIndia. Another ambitious planning of Indian government is toteach English to low income individuals like cab drivers, waiters

gate man and service staffs.


28/35

Missed deadlines, bloated budgets, multiple agenciesworking at cross purposes, the scramble to getCommonwealth Games venue ready on time is atragic example of inefficiency and bureaucraticinertia

Investing such a huge amount of money just for asports event isnt worth it. It became a problem as the

government is raising prices to collect funds for thecommonwealth games which has resulted in a problemfor the common people to meet their daily needs .


29/35

The countdown is ticking for a nation that still looks like a messy construction site with

roads filled with rubbles, new construction boards pulled up every week, and

common man grumbling over rising taxes to pay for the Common Wealth Games.The government is in a hitch to get things into place as soon as possible. This is

because the deadlines are near and the work is not completed yet. The following

facts depict this:-

STA I MS- 17 Venues, 5 incomplete, 4 damaged.

Deadline-31st July.


30/35

OVERLA S- the timing, scoring, result equipment will be in place only bySeptember-end. No time to test.

FL OVERSA ROA S- 9 major projects. All incomplete. Deadline August31st.

ACCOMO ATIO S- Games village and Vasant Kunj flats for officials notready. Renovations of hotels incomplete.

CATERI G- No caterer finalised till date.

SPO SORSHIP- Rs.342 crore from 10 sponsors .Target- Rs.1,800 crore.


31/35

The Jawaharlal nehru stadium, which is to host all key events is still struggling

to meet its 31st july deadline when the stadium resembles open drains and the

site in its early stages of construction.The Yamuna sports complex still has ceilings and wooden floorings damaged

due to water logging.

The Talkatora stadium has major problems of flooding due to leakage.

Every approach road to the venue is dug up, water logged, minus pavements

and dividers leading to flooding each time it rains.


32/35

And, to add to the flaws, some of the worlds best

athletes have pulled out of the games robbing it outof its lustre.

The security agencies need atleast 45 days to

secure the venue, the state of which looks unlikely

now.


33/35

The commonwealth games may add to the pride of the Indianeconomy, but, in reality is our nation even ready to host the games???Has the government been able to fulfill the expectations of the

masses???Of great concern the Answer is NO. According to M.S Gill, when hetook over the 3 main stadiums, the work hadnt even started, until2008.

Sheila dixit states a cause to be nervous. The biggest challenge forthem is to host the games completing all facilities on time. Thus, for

this reason the government is no doubt stressed.


34/35

The present scenario of Delhi, the host capital is no doubt alarming. Work is not

being completed on time, projects are lying pending, people are feeling against

the government.Thus, according to the present situation it can be said that the commonwealth games

in present has shaken the Indian economy to a great extent. The nation is in a state

of run, to host and complete the games on time.

The future scenario may be of help to the nation as the various industries can be

given a boom, but, at present the government actually needs to buck up so that nohindrance is caused to the name of the nation.
