    INTRODUCTION:-

    The Commonwealth Games is a multinational, multi-sport event. Held every four years, it involves the
    elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. Attendance at the Commonwealth Games is typically
    around 5,000 athletes. The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is the organisation that is
    responsible for the direction and control of the Commonwealth Games

    The event was first held in 1930 under the title of the British Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario,
    Canada. The event was renamed as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, the British
    Commonwealth Games in 1970, and gained its current title in 1978. Only six teams have attended every
    Commonwealth Games: Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales

    There are currently 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and 71 teams participate in the
    Games

    BENEFITS:- the multinational companies, Indian tourism, media, hotel industry and even small scale
    manufacturers are benefiting from this sports extravaganza. The latest figures on foreign tourist arrivals
    in India suggest that the recent buoyancy in the hospitality and aviation industry may continue in the
    future as well. Delhi has seen fast infrastructural development in the past few months. The Delhi
    government is also planning a program to teach English to those who will be serving the tourists. These
    include auto rickshaw drivers, security workers, waiters, porters, etc.
