In Rajasthan, India, the state government has launched the 'Saarthak Naam Abhiyan' (Meaningful Names Campaign) to evaluate and potentially change schoolchildren's names that are considered inappropriate or negative. Names like Sheru, Shaitan, and Kalu may be replaced with more positive alternatives, such as Abheer and Vaishnavi. The education department has compiled a list of nearly 3,000 names—1,409 for boys and 1,541 for girls—to assist families in this voluntary process. Schools will introduce the idea during parent-teacher meetings, and any name change will require written consent from parents. This initiative targets students in Classes 1 to 9, but there is also potential to update older records. Officials emphasize that names can influence a child's confidence and sense of identity, and the campaign aims to eliminate caste-based or derogatory terms from school records. Discussions have already begun, with estimates suggesting there are around 2,000 to 3,000 cases across schools that may benefit from this initiative.
