Parliament passes the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill to change the state’s name from Kerala to Keralam. The Lok Sabha clears the bill on August 11, and the Rajya Sabha later also approves it.
The move follows an earlier demand from Kerala’s state government. In 2024, the Kerala Assembly passes a resolution urging the Centre to introduce legislation for the name change. The outlets describe the same legislative trajectory—starting with the Assembly resolution and proceeding through Parliament’s approval—while differing only in emphasis on which chamber is reported first.
Overall, the reporting centers on the bill’s passage through the two Houses of Parliament and links it to the state Assembly’s 2024 resolution calling for a Central law. The articles do not describe additional policy changes beyond the renaming.
