The document summarizes the critical appraisal of the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in Delhi, India. It discusses the idea generation, planning, execution, and review of the Games. The key points are: 1) The vision was to inculcate sports consciousness and culture in India. However, the objectives of citizen involvement, cultural heritage display, and leaving a lasting legacy were only partially achieved. 2) Planning involved developing sporting and city infrastructure, hosting facilities, and contracting support services. However, the budget escalated seven-fold and it was one of the most expensive Games ever. 3) While the sports events were well executed, there were issues with ticketing, viewership, and media management.
