The Organising Committee Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi (OC CWG Delhi 2010) came
into being on 10 February 2005, as a registered society under the Societies Registration Act
1860. It was resolved by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) in the General
Assembly held in Jamaica on 13 November 2003 to entrust the organising and hosting of
the XIX Commonwealth Games to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). As per Clause 2(C)
of the Host City Contract, signed by the Government of India(GOI), the Government of
National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD), IOA, and CGF, the CGF has delegated the
organisation of the Games to the OC CWG Delhi 2010.

The OC CWG Delhi 2010 has set itself the goal of conducting the best Commonwealth
Games to date, including the provision of impeccable standards of service to athletes,
officials and the general public, in close collaboration with its partners. It hopes to set new
benchmarks for other Host nations with regards to urban sustainable development by
showcasing excellent infrastructure and facilities which could be used by the society and the
general public for generations to come.

The Organising Committee Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi has partnered with
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce
and Industry (FICCI), to launch the Business Club of India (BCI). BCI seeks to fulfill its
objective to market the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, and promote and facilitate
business networking as well as showcase the country as a preferred business destination for
the global business community.

According to a study by the KPMG, the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi is projected
to have an overall economic impact on India amounting to about US$ 5 billion and will
generate 2.47 million jobs in a four year span from 2008-12. Thus, the impact is expected
to be larger than Manchester 2002 and Melbourne 2006.

The OC CWG Delhi 2010 has readied itself towards offering unique access, network,
facilitation and opportunity for any business to participate in the Games and conduct
business through well-structured events before and during the Games. BCI, through its
partners, CII and FICCI as well as through a unique partnership with the Ministry of
Tourism, seeks to fulfill its objective to market the Games.

Through strategic partnerships with CII and FICCI, BCI has found favour with and valuable
exposure to top level business audiences in India and overseas, helping it promote its
objectives, garner visibility, support and enhanced networking bandwidth among the most
important stakeholders.

India has emerged as one of the world¶s leading and most resilient economies. The country
coped successfully with the challenge of the recent economic and financial crisis and
recession worldwide and registered 15 percent growth in the manufacturing sector. Even
the most conservative projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate so far is
estimated at close to 7-8 percent per year, whether it has been projected by leading
economic authorities within India or by international institutions such as the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank. The BCI is a
permanent forum whose activities would continue post Games time and the Club would
continue to add value to promote economic relationships within the Commonwealth
fraternity.

Coinciding with the launch of the Queen¶s Baton Relay 2010 Delhi from Buckingham Palace
by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the presence of the Honourable President of India Mrs.
Pratibha Devisingh Patil, BCI was launched in London on 29 October 2009. It then organised
a series of business road shows in the following key business destinations along the Queen¶s
Baton Relay 2010 Delhi¶s route, fostering business partnerships:

‡ London with UK-India Business Council

‡ Birmingham with Birmingham City Council
‡ Glasgow with Business Club Scotland
‡ Mauritius with Mauritius Tourism Authority
‡ Johannesburg with Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry ( JCCI)
‡ Toronto and Ottawa with Canada-India Chambers of Commerce
‡ Melbourne with Australia-India Business Council), Austrade/Business Club Australia
‡ Singapore Business Federation (SBF) in Singapore, Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia and
Colombo

The Road Shows received a tremendous response for business tie-ups with South Africa,
Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. Top business leaders, corporate heads cutting across
sectors such as Energy, Information Technology, Oil and Gas, Non-Conventional Energy,
Tourism, Sports Industries, Luxury Goods, Cuisine and Food Processing attended the
events.

During the forthcoming Commonwealth Games, the BCI events plans include
Commonwealth Games Business Forum and Sports Trade Shows. With the exceptional
success of the activities and the interest it has generated, BCI is all set to make a smooth
transition into the preferred platform for doing business with India, especially around
national and international sporting events. BCI is a vehicle through which the country¶s
business would be represented at the largest and the best of sporting mega events
worldwide in 2010 and in years to follow.

The three core values of the Commonwealth Games movement are Humanity, Equality and
Destiny, which were adopted by the Games movement in 2001. These values inspire and
unite millions of people and symbolise the broad mandate for holding the Games within the
Commonwealth.

A sporting contest that brought together members of the British Empire was first proposed
by Reverend Ashley Cooper when he suggested a Pan-Britannic, Pan-Anglican Contest and
Festival every four years to foster goodwill and understanding within the Empire. In 1928, a
key Canadian athlete, Bobby Robinson, was given the responsibility of organising the first
British Empire Games, which culminated in the first-ever Commonwealth Games being held
in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in 1930. These first Games saw the participation of 400
athletes from 11 countries.

Since then 18 Commonwealth Games have been held every four years, except during World
War II (1942 and 1946). Initially the Games were known as the British Empire and
Commonwealth Games, then as British Commonwealth Games and simply as the
Commonwealth Games since 1978. But more than that, they have always been known as
the µFriendly Games¶. India hopes to take this legacy forward.

There are currently 53 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and 71 teams participate
in the Games. The four constituent countries of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland - send separate teams to the Commonwealth Games, and
individual teams are also sent from the British Crown dependencies - Guernsey, Jersey and
the Isle of Man - and many of the British overseas territories. The Australian external
territory of Norfolk Island also sends its own team, as do the Cook Islands and Niue, two
non-sovereign states in free association with New Zealand. The Commonwealth dependency
of Tokelau is expected to take part in the Games in Delhi.

The Games have evolved and changed over the years. Only single competition games were
featured until team sports were introduced in 1998 and continue to be featured since then;
a fully inclusive sports programme for Elite Athletes with a Disability (EAD) was first
introduced in 2002 and has become an integral part of the Games; since 2004
Commonwealth Youth Games have been organised regularly for athletes of 18 years of age.
