- The Kerala Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution requesting the Central government to change the name of the state from ‘Kerala’ to ‘Keralam’.
- In Malayalam, the state was denoted as ‘Keralam’, but in alternative languages, it is called as ‘Kerala’.
- The term ‘Keralam’ traces its roots to the fusion of two Malayalam words – “Kera,” symbolizing coconut, and “Alam” denoting land.
- Thus, ‘Keralam’ intricately encase the essence of the “Land of Coconut Trees”.
- It is a pivotal contributor amounting to about 45% of India’s overall coconut harvest.
- It is sought to be instituted through the provisions of Article 3 of the Constitution to change it in the first schedule.
- This alteration would encompass the adoption of ‘Keralam’ as the state’s official name across all languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.
