Kerala Assembly Passes Resolution Seeking To Rename State As Keralam

The Assembly passed the resolution for the second time because the Union Home Ministry, which reviewed the first resolution, suggested some technical changes.

The Kerala Assembly on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution urging the Centre to officially change the state's name to ‘Keralam'.

The Assembly passed the resolution for the second time because the Union Home Ministry, which reviewed the first resolution, suggested some technical changes.

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who moved the resolution, wanted the union government to change the southern state's name from "Kerala" to "Keralam" in all languages included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of the country.
