Why Mughal Garden has been renamed Amrit Udyan?
As announced by the press secretary of the President, the gardens of the Rashtrapati Bhavan will now be given a common name – Amrit Udyog. The renamed gardens will be opened to the general public on January 31, after it is inaugurated by President Murmu.
The officials announced that the Mughal Garden is being renamed to Amrit Udyog on the occasion of the celebrations of 75 years of Independence as 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’. The renaming of the gardens will give them a new identity to it, rather than the previous descriptive identity.
The new name of the Mughal Garden was approved by the President of India, and the sign board which read ‘Mughal Garden’ has now been replaced with ‘Amrit Udyog’. Many BJP leaders justified the change in the name, saying that it is aimed at abolishing the sign of slavery to the Mughal empire.
