The impact of hosting the Games in Scotland is potentially greatest for our children and that is why we want school pupils and their teachers across Scotland to share in the anticipation and hopefully, the celebration.
I sincerely hope that children across Scotland, some of whom may themselves be participants at the Commonwealth Games in 2014, will be able to share that experience - and then hopefully join with us as we celebrate.
The Commonwealth Games is an event with the potential to bring enormous benefits to all of us and young people in Dundee are 100 per cent behind Glasgow’s bid.
Commonwealth Games 2010, the next big event after Beijing Olympics is knocking at the doors of Delhi at just about 2 years time. Apart from the regular questions of infrastructure like roads, Stadiums, transport, security etc. a real cause of worry is the accommodation. Where would the large number of national and international visitors stay in Delhi during the Sporting extravaganza and after?
If reports are to be believed then Bangkok the capital of Thailand has more hotel rooms than Delhi and Bombay put together. This acute dearth of hotel rooms is not really music to the ears as only some 700 days are left for the commonwealth games to begin. There is a shortage of around 40000 rooms in Delhi and the National Capital Region.
It is the budget travelers coming to Delhi who faces the maximum heat of this crunch. Not everybody can shell out exorbitant amounts for staying. In absence of proper hotels, the budget travelers has no alternative but to do with the pigeon-hole hotel rooms in the area opposite the New Delhi Railway Station.
It seems the government has finally woken up and decided do to something for the budget travelers. The Ministry of Tourism said that a subsidy would be offered to private sector builders for constructing budget hotels in one, two and three star categories. In fact there is a plan to provide a 10 year Tax rebate to new budget hotels in Delhi and Delhi National Capital Region.
The Delhi government also plans to start a new category of Budget accommodation in in the form of bed-and-breakfast schemes.

The commonwealth of the Bahamas is in the West Indies. The country is made up of an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. This m
eans that it is comprised of a series of islands, which connect to the mainland, thus the pluralized name.The Bahamas was a British colony from 1718 and later became an independent country in 1973, while remaining a part of the Commonwealth of Nations. They retain Queen Elizabeth II as their monarch and still sing God Save the Queen as a national anthem. The main language is English though some speak variants of English, Spanish and Portuguese.
The capital city is Nassau, which is located on the island New Providence, though Andros Island is the largest in the group. The city was a haven for the pirates that sailed the Caribbean, including the famous Blackbeard, and was fought over by several nations, notably Spain and England. The whole region was notorious in legend for pirate activity, and is used as a set for many books and films on the subject.The pirates even disrupted the area’s government at one point by declaring an anarchic ‘Privateer’s Republic’ and ransacking Charlestown, which would later become Nassau. The islands had been through the hands of the Spanish and they had all but destroyed the native population of Arawak Indians. The British stopped a lot of the trouble when they made the islands a British Crown Colony.
The islands are mostly Christian, with a heavy leaning towards the Protestant church, other denominations being present but in minority.
