Government Start Facelift For Various Universities of Delhi Hostels Before Commonwealth Games

Section Commonwealth Games 2010
Posted on Wed Jun 11, 2008 at 03:14:13 AM EST

As a part of its preparation for the much awaited Commonwealth Games 2010, the Government of Delhi has started renovating the hostels operating under various universities of the capital.

Visitors to the Commonwealth Games 2010 will be accommodated in the hostel rooms of Delhi University (DU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Jamia Milla Islamia (JMI) and students from these varsities will be engaged in various Games-related duties.

The Tourism Ministry on the other hand will help University authorities run these hostels during the entire period of the Commonwealth Games.

According to the Ministry, Delhi could face the challenge of accommodating sportspersons and visiting people. The expected shortage of number of rooms can go upto 6,000 during the games. Therefore, Delhi would need at least 30,000 rooms for accommodating visitors.

Delhi on the other side will also need 11,000 hotel rooms with a provision for another 13,000 rooms before the Commonwealth Games starts.

Sports Minister M.S. Gill has requested the Tourism Ministry to discuss the plan with related ministries saying that, "It would be a new gift to students."

A committee formed for the Commonwealth Games 2010 includes Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Indian Olympic Association president Suresh Kalmadi.
