Rajpath will now be known as Kartavya Path to 'abolish colonial midset'

New Delhi/IBNS: The Rajpath and Central Vista lawns in the heart of Delhi have been renamed Kartavya Path.

The decision was taken in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda to shed names and symbols reminiscent of the British era.

The entire stretch from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose statue to the Rashtrapati Bhavan will now be known as Kartavya Path, in sync with PM Modi's emphasis on duty in the run-up to 2047, which completes 100 years of Independence.

During his address from the ramparts of Red Fort on August 15, PM Modi spoke about the abolition of symbols relating to colonial mindset.

In line with it, the Navy changed its ensign last week, during the launch of the country's first homemade aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.

Earlier, the name of the road on which the PM's residence is located was changed from Race Course Road to Lok Kalyan Marg.
