Mr. Reddy, heads the Group of Ministers managing the co-ordination and development work for the Commonwealth Games to be held here in Delhi from October 3 this year, was visiting the headquarters of the Organising Committee Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi and assured it of the Government’s full support.

“I am sure we will be able to get all venues ready well in time for the Games,” he said, assuring Organising Committee Chairman Mr Suresh Kalmadi, MP, that the Government was totally behind him and his team to deliver a great Games. “The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh is totally committed to the conduct of the Games,” he said.

Mr. Reddy complimented Mr. Kalmadi as a great organiser and a doer and said, as the head of the Group of Ministers overseeing the Games, his job was to provide fillip to the process, strengthen the OC Chairman’s hands and the hands of the Organising Committee. “I am sure you will deliver the best Commonwealth Games ever in history,” he said.

Mr. Kalmadi thanked Mr. Reddy for his support and guidance and said that things had started moving quickly after he was named to lead the Group of Ministers overseeing the preparation for the Commonwealth Games.

The logo of the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi is inspired by the Chakra, the national symbol of freedom, unity and power. Spiralling upwards, it depicts the growth of India into a proud, vibrant nation. Her billion people coming together to fulfil their true destinies. India`s journey from tradition to modernity, her economic transformation into a super power… reaching out to the world and leading the way, even as she enthusiastically embraces all the 71 CGA nations and territories of the Commonwealth to become one and host the best ever Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

Come Out and Play: The logo tagline is in an invitation to every person across all divides – Indian and Commonwealth – to let go of themselves and participate in the Games to the best of their abilities, in the true sprit of the Games. It is an exhortation to them to set new records, to outperform, and to raise the bar by scaling new peaks of achievement. It is also a call to the people of India, especially Delhi, to come out in support of the Games and play the perfect hosts at the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi.

Colour Palette: The colour palette for the Delhi 2010 look programme combines two of the distinctive colours of the Delhi 2010 Emblem with the official colours of the Commonwealth Games.
