'''C.G.S. colony''' ([[Antop Hill]], [[Mumbai]]) is Asia's largest{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} housing colony to provide housing to employees and staff of any central government body/organisation. C.G.S. is derived from '''C'''entral '''G'''overnment '''E'''mployees '''S'''ociety - the "E" is not used usually because saying "CGS" is much easier and faster than saying "CGES", but C.G.E.S. is the official short-form. The colony is located approximately mid-way of the [[King's Circle]] and [[Koliwada railway station|Koliwada]] or [[Koliwada railway station|Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar]] railway stations. Walking time between C.G.S. and both stations is an average of 20 minutes.

C.G.S. colony consists of seven sectors, I through VII and the buildings are graded according to the number of rooms each apartment (or flat) of the building contains.

There is also a [[Kendriya Vidyalaya]] school in Sector 1 for the employees and staff of any central government body/organisation And there is also a ground for playing which is in Sector-6 Called Cement Ground.
