The Commonwealth Games (CWG) are set to become a part of the school curriculum in Delhi to get city’s children involved in the event, the build-up to which has been been marred by corruption allegations and construction delays.
The Department of Art, Culture and Languages of the Delhi government launched the programme to familiarise children with CWG. The initiative, ‘Shera Mera Dost’, aims to raise awareness about the Games online and get school students involved in the build-up to the event. The site introduces a 45-day series of fun contests and activities in schools. “The campaign was conceptualised by a team of school principals and teachers,” says Reena Ray, Principal secretary for Education, Art, Culture and Languages in the Delhi government.
