Commonwealth is not all about shame .It has done a lot for delhi
I will show you how has it contributed towards Delhi
By increase english speaking in India
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.
The Government of India is also planning to expand the program to teach people in all dominant tourist destinations. These places include Agra and Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, Bhopal and Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, Gaya in Bihar and Puri in Orissa. To relocate migrant beggars from Delhi streets, Delhi High Court is also set to implement a series of "mobile courts" all through Delhi.
