      Solution

      The Union Cabinet approved the proposal of the Kerala government to change the official name of the State from ā€˜Kerala’ to ā€˜Keralam’, which is the traditional Malayalam-language name of the state. The decision was taken in a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Seva Teerth, the new complex housing the Prime Minister’s Office. The proposal reflects the linguistic identity of the state, where Malayalam is the primary language spoken by the population. The name ā€œKeralamā€ is widely used in Malayalam literature, culture and everyday communication within the state.
