'Durbar Hall’ and ‘Ashok Hall' , two of the important halls of Rashtrapati Bhavan, renamed as ‘Ganatantra Mandap’ and ‘Ashok Mandap’ respectively.
• 'Durbar Hall' is the venue of important ceremonies and celebrations such as the presentation of National Awards. The concept of ‘Ganatantra’ is deeply rooted in Indian society since the ancient times, making ‘Ganatantra Mandap’ an apt name for the venue.
• ‘Ashok Hall’ was originally a ballroom. Renaming ‘Ashok Hall’ as ‘Ashok Mandap’ brings uniformity in language and removes the traces of anglicisation while upholding the key values associated with the word 'Ashok'.
