Union Cabinet Clears Proposal to Rename Kerala as Keralam

The Union Cabinet on 24 February 2026 approved the proposal to rename the State of Kerala as Keralam, restoring its original Malayalam name. The move follows a unanimous resolution passed by the Kerala Legislative Assembly in June 2024, seeking to align the state’s official name with its linguistic and cultural identity. Under Article 3 of the Constitution, the Kerala (Alteration of Name) Bill, 2026 will be referred to the state assembly before being introduced in Parliament.

The renaming is aimed at ensuring linguistic authenticity, acknowledging the historical usage of “Keralam” in inscriptions and literature, and strengthening the state’s cultural identity. The proposal enjoys cross-party political support and long-standing public backing, though its timing ahead of the 2026 state elections adds political relevance.

Once approved by Parliament, the change will require administrative updates to official records and documents. Symbolically, it reflects India’s broader effort to restore indigenous place names and preserve cultural heritage.

PRAHAAR Counter-Terrorism Strategy 2026: India’s New National Policy

On 23 February 2026, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) unveiled India’s new national counter-terrorism policy and strategy, titled PRAHAAR. The policy provides a comprehensive and proactive framework to prevent, deter and respond to evolving terrorist threats, while firmly upholding human rights and the rule of law.

PRAHAAR is an acronym that represents a multi-dimensional approach:

  • P – Prevention of terror attacks to protect Indian citizens and interests
  • R – Swift and proportionate Responses to threats
  • A – Aggregating internal capacities through a whole-of-government approach
  • H – Human rights and Rule of Law-based processes
  • A – Attenuating conditions enabling terrorism, including radicalisation
  • A – Aligning international efforts to counter terrorism
  • R – Recovery and resilience through a whole-of-society approach

The Ministry reiterated India’s zero-tolerance policy against terrorism and stressed that there can be no justification for violence under any circumstances. The strategy aims to criminalise all terrorist acts and deny terrorists, their financiers and supporters access to funds, weapons and safe havens.

India will continue to work with the international community to counter terrorism, including addressing the misuse of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for terror activities. The policy also highlights investments in advanced technology and private sector partnerships to tackle future threats. Importantly, PRAHAAR rejects any attempt to link terrorism with religion, ethnicity, nationality or civilisation, while emphasising support for victims of terrorism.

White Revolution 2.0 : Boost to Dairy Cooperatives and Women Empowerment

The Centre has launched White Revolution 2.0, a cooperative-led initiative by the Ministry of Cooperation, to expand dairy cooperative coverage, boost employment, address malnutrition, and strengthen women’s empowerment, the Lok Sabha was informed on February 9, 2026.

The programme aims to increase milk procurement by dairy cooperatives by 50% over five years, reaching 1,007 lakh kg per day by 2028–29. This will be achieved through a two-pronged strategy of expanding cooperative coverage in uncovered areas and deepening the reach of existing cooperatives in the organised sector.

Under the initiative, 75,000 new Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) will be set up in uncovered areas, while 46,422 existing DCSs will be strengthened. Around 1.20 lakh cooperatives (DCS, M-DCS and M-PACS) will be supported and connected to milk routes, along with infrastructure such as automatic milk collection units, milk testing equipment and bulk milk coolers.

White Revolution 2.0 is funded through the National Dairy Development Programme 2.0 (NPDD 2.0) of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying.

Highlighting women’s role, the Centre noted that nearly 70% of the dairy workforce comprises women. By expanding cooperatives to every uncovered panchayat or village, the initiative seeks to bring more women into the organised dairy sector, enhancing their economic and social empowerment.

The details were shared by Union Minister for Home and Cooperation Amit Shah in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
