The Sports Minister of India will head the apex committee for conduction of the games, while Suresh Kalmadi (president of Indian Olympic Association) will head the Games organizing committee.
The Sports Program of 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi include 17 disciplines in which many new sports are included and many are excluded. For instance, archery is included, whereas triathlon is probably to be excluded. The new sports program of 2010 Commonwealth Games include popular sports events like athletics, tennis, wrestling, cycling, hockey, shooting, gymnastics, rugby 7s, etc. But the game of triathlon is excluded because of venue problem for the swimming phase. Organizers are also thinking of removing the event of basketball and include billiards, archery, snooker, and tennis for the male participants.
