The historic city of Delhi will look its best for visitors during the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi. One of the legacies of the event will be that it will leave behind a city much more beautiful and charming than it currently is. The colonial city-centre and Delhi’s main shopping area, Connaught Place, has been given a new facade and is already experiencing a resurgence. Rajpath, the main avenue in Lutyens Delhi, is being rejuvenated. The city’s monuments, an integral part of the rich heritage of Delhi’s past, are being cleaned and revitalised.

Delhi will be offering innumerable amenities to all the athletes in October 2010. Free accommodation for all athletes, a modern-comfortable Games Village, cutting-edge health facilities, security, pollution-free environment, entertainment for non-competition times, transportation, etc. A free trip to all athletes to the wonderful Taj Mahal and a reserved lane for participants on selected highways is the added features of the Commonwealth 2010.

In addition to all the preparation, the cab driver, waiters, gatemen, and service staff of Delhi are being taught the English language. This is due to the rush of English-speaking tourists. Delhi government is implementing a curriculum to teach English to low-income individuals who will have a high-frequency of contact with tourists. From last two years, the city has successfully taught 2,000 drivers in English and thus continuing the program to reach as many people as possible before the Games. The city is planning to teach English to about 1,000 people per month.
