Why all these infra structural changes in India before commonwealth games.

Why all these infra structural changes in India

To give this page a good start, let me begin by being honest with you. First of all the changes are not really happening in all over India. The changes are mainly (90%) taking place only in New Delhi as far as we can see. In case you have not visited New Delhi in last one year, please do find some time out to read about the changes and the plans that they have in place for changing this city in your daily news papers.

The Municipal Council of Delhi had started a kind of move in which they has asked the residents to catch and hand over the stray cattle to the government for which each person will be paid Rs. 2000/-. This was quite a success, until they ran out of money to pay and places to store the cattle. Finally, things are back to square one because even after paying a huge amount for that particular move, the number of cattle did not reduce to even 1% from New Delhi roads.

Anyway, that was the funny part of the infra structural changes, but yes, this is another truth that the government is having big plans. What exactly happens is that this is not just about making money from that event but also its the matter of reputation for the country.

You can think of this event as Sports and Tourism combined. India has its advantages in the area of tourism, we have many places that people can visit, this will get our government more revenue. So it really makes perfect sense for the government and also for the tourist to have the best of their times when they are in India for the commonwealth games.

The money is being spent in millions, there are plans, there are master plans from changing airports to roads to buildings, etc. This is pretty much strange but yes at least this game has given a lot to the citizens of India, New Delhi in particular. They have got their Metro trains, they have got good roads, they are about to receive the international treatments on the airports. The stadium is being revamped (stadiums are also important), Bawana power plants is being constructed. Television is going to see introduction of new technologies with improved broadcasting facility.

There are various projects on which the work is being delayed as per the DDA. The DDA is slotted to spend Rs 1,028 crore for upgrading the existing as well as developing new games venue. Both government and private companies have joined their hands together to go ahead with the projects The basic plan is to convert New Delhi into a world class city. Please keep visiting this page in case you need the exact data. This site is working on producing the sum spent on the number of constructions/demolitions.
