      Solution

      The proposal to change the name of the state from Kerala to Keralam will follow the constitutional procedure laid out under Article 3 of the Constitution of India. Article 3 empowers Parliament to create new states, alter boundaries, and change the names of existing states. Under this procedure, the President of India first refers the proposed legislation to the concerned State Legislative Assembly for its views and recommendations. After receiving the Assembly’s opinion, the bill can then be introduced in Parliament with the President’s recommendation.
