POST GAMES REPORT - Commonwealth Games Federation

The FA also coordinated the Games Operation Centre,
Games Time Monitoring and Airport Operations as well as
the trip to the Taj Mahal, which was a great success amongst
the athletes and officials.
The Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport
(IGIA) at New Delhi was the face of the nation as the point
of first contact by all CGAs, international media, and guests,
etc. The FA had set up a 24X7 control room on 1 September
2010, as planned, which resulted in excellent coordination
amongst various departments leading to smooth and hassle
free operations at the IGIA. The FA successfully managed
approximately 3,072 guests in various categories and provided
a memorable experience during their trip to the Taj Mahal at
Agra.
The CGR FA achieved yet another success while
coordinating with MoHA and got the NVP notification
issued three months before the planned date. This helped the
Accreditation FA in issuance of NVPs to most of the CGAs
well in time.
• The nodal officers in various government agencies deputed
/assigned for the Games should continue to serve in their
positions till the end of the Games
COMMUNICATIONS

to deliver marketing solutions for requirements including
milestone events, brand visibility, internal communications,

successfully:

Key Lessons and Recommendations

should be formed which can coordinate amongst all the
central and state government ministries/departments/
agencies to provide a single window for resolving and
executing all kind of issues pertaining to the Games
