The 2030 Commonwealth Games baton has officially been handed over to India, marking the beginning of preparations for the next edition of the Games in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

India is planning a larger, multi-sport event featuring 15 to 17 disciplines, significantly expanding on Glasgow's scaled-down edition. Two sports being strongly considered for inclusion are Yoga and Kabaddi, both deeply rooted in Indian heritage. Officials believe the 2030 Commonwealth Games could become a major milestone in India's sporting ambitions while also strengthening Ahmedabad's bid to host the 2036 Olympic Games. The inclusion of Yoga and Kabaddi could provide both disciplines with unprecedented global exposure.

"This monumental opportunity could bring substantial benefits, fostering economic growth, social progress, and youth empowerment across the country," a source told India Today.

It has not been a hidden secret that India intends to host the 2036 Olympic Games, as the IOA has been preparing for the bid for some time. In recent years, India’s bid was strengthened having hosted the International Olympic Committee (IOC) general meeting headed by Thomas Bach. India also has a strong representation on the panel, further helping its bid to host the Olympics in 2036.

As things stand, Los Angeles in the United States will host the 2028 Summer Olympics, while Brisbane in Australia will host the 2032 Games. The IOC’s rules state that no continent can host back-to-back summer Olympics, paving the way for an Asian nation to host the Games in 2036.

Asia has hosted the Summer Games four times, including the 1964 Tokyo, 1988 Seoul, 2008 Beijing, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. If successful with the bid, India could become the first nation from South Asia to host the Summer Olympics.

"India is preparing to host the 2036 Olympics. In this regard, the input from athletes who have played in previous Olympics is significant. You all must have observed and experienced many things. We want to document this and share it with the government so that we don't miss out on any small details in the preparation for 2036," PM Narendra Modi had earlier stated.
