The new state-of-the-art Games
Village is being planned around maximising athlete comfort.
The services and facilities will have a unique "athlete-comfort"
orientation and approach. Exceeding CGF requirements,
the Village will translate traditional Indian hospitality
into standards of comfort & excellence never seen
before by participating teams.
To be created at a cost of USD 40 million, the Games Village
has been underwritten by the government ... There will
be no cost to the Organizing Committee. A 47.3 hectare
(118 acre) picturesque site has been selected on the banks
of river Yamuna.
Within its immediate vicinity are heritage monuments and
historical landmarks. Combined with the dense green natural
cover on the sides, it will be a relaxing and soothing
environment for the athletes and officials. Athletes and
Officials from all sports will stay at this one village.
Venues are within a 25 minute journey
from the Games Village, and the majority are just 10-15
minutes away.
