The Government has approved construction of the Games village next to the Akshardham Temple off the new Nizamuddin bridge.
Action for design and plans for Games Village has been initiated. It is premature to give an estimate of cost.
The construction work of Games Village is expected to be completed well in time for the Commonwealth Games – 2010.
Though the Government has not taken any foreign help, however, there is provision for knowledge transfer in the License fee paid to Commonwealth Games Federation for carrying out baseline survey and for suggesting improvement of infrastructure.
This information was given by the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Overseas Indian Affairs, Shri Jagdish Tytler in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today. br>
