Name dropping: Nehru-Gandhi make way for NDA's icons in budget
Saubhadra Chatterji, Hindustan Times New Delhi, July 10, 2014First Published: 19:01 IST(10/7/2014) | Last Updated: 19:25 IST(10/7/2014)
For years, almost every government programme was named after a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family. But the NDA’s first budget has finally recognised other political leaders by unveiling four big schemes named after stalwarts outside the first family of Indian politics.
The programmes are named after Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Jaiprakash Narayan and Madan Mohan Malviya. Upadhyay and Mukherjee are ideologues of the RSS and BJP while Narayan, popularly called as 'Loknayak', is a political icon of the anti-Congress movement. Educationist Malaviya, a champion of Hindu nationalism, was also among the initial leaders of Hindu Mahasabha.

Upadhyay and Mukherjee are ideologues of the RSS and BJP while Narayan, popularly called as 'Loknayak', is a political icon of the anti-Congress movement. Educationist Malaviya, a champion of Hindu nationalism, was also among the initial leaders of Hindu Mahasabha.
The projection of these leaders comes amid a deliberate move to rename or re-package flagship schemes of the UPA. The Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme has given way to the Varishtha Pension Bima Yojana while the Rajiv Gandhi rural electrification scheme has been replaced by the Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana.
During the decade of UPA rule, 11 central government schemes were named after the Nehru-Gandhi family, mostly Rajiv Gandhi. Congress-ruled state governments had also launched 52 similar schemes.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley announced the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission to urbanise rural areas and the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana to augment power supply in rural areas.
He also said that a national centre for excellence in humanities, to be set up in Madhya Pradesh, has been named after Jai Prakash Narayan. A Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya New Teachers Training Programme is also being launched.
The recognition of Malaviya has a larger significance. He was a former national Congress president and founded Benaras Hindu University in Varanasi, which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency.
Some UPA flagship schemes like the National Rural Livelihood Mission, or Bharat Nirman, found no mention while the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan has been repackaged as the Swatchh Bharat Abhiyan. Indira Vikas Patra is history with the launch of the Kissan Vikas Patra.

It can happen only in India.
Idolizing and naming places after political Leaders, from Hair Dresser to Airports.
449 schemes are named after Nehru Gandhi Family.From L ti R Cabinet Secretary,Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi Image Credit NDTV
It does not matter whether the leader in alive or Dead.
In Tamil Nadu , one will find the statues of EVR Annadurai, MGR most prominently.
You will find at least one Gandhi Road/Nagar, Anna Road/Nagar,MGR Nagar/Road.
And there are pockets with the DMK’s name( who is alive and kicking vigorously)
Not to be outdone, the sycophants in the Government of India had beaten the Dravidian Parties to the pulp!
By naming 449 Central Government projects with Gandhi, Nehru Family Name.
“At least 25% of Central schemes are named after late PM Rajiv Gandhi. Planning Commission data suggests that government runs 58 schemes named after eminent people, MoS for Planning Ashwani Kumar said in a written reply to Lok Sabha. Of these, 16 schemes bear Gandhi’s name like Rajiv Awaas Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Udyami Mitra Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi Panchayat Shashaktikaran Abhiyan, Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana, Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowships for ST students etc.(Times of india-10 May, 2012)
It transpires that there are over 450 schemes in all!
This despite a dissenting note by the Cabinet Secretary’s Note.
“New Delhi: Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrashekhar has written to all the ministers regarding usage of names of prominent leaders in developmental programmes. Following is what the letter talks about.
Dear Minister
As you are aware that number of programmes under execution in the country are named after
leaders particularly Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, the former Prime Ministers.
The practice has become widespread and indiscriminate. This reduces the value of identifying programmes with national figures particularly as implementation and impact of many of these programmes is not always as ought to be. As such many of them do not merit such association.
I have, therefore, been directed to convey that in the light of what is stated above there is need to be sparing and selective in associating names of national leaders with such programmes to prevent proliferation of such nomenclature.
With regards,
KM Chandrasekhar
Cabinet Secretary”

Congres Reply.
rom a crèche for working mothers, to rural electrification, to subsidised housing, there are about a dozen Central government run schemes named after Indira and Rajiv.
But if one takes into account welfare schemes run by the state governments, the figure is many times over.
In August 2009, an RTI application revealed more 450 government projects and schemes are named after the Gandhi-Nehru family.
The Congress, however, defended naming projects after the Gandhi-Nehru family.
“If you at look at history, from 1946 to 1964, Pandit Nehru was the Prime Minister. Again from 1966 to 1984, Mrs Indira Gandhi was the PM. She was succeeded by Rajiv Gandhi, and all of them have contributed to nation building. Yes, their names should be associated with projects that have gravitas,” said Manish Tiwari, Congress Spokesperson.
Apart from an element of sycophancy, there’s perhaps also some politics in naming the developmental projects after Indira and Rajiv Gandhi. Many of the centrally sponsored schemes are actually implemented by the state governments. If these schemes do well, state governments want to take the credit. So by naming after a Congress leader, the Centre wants it known, it was a Congress government which first thought of such a scheme.”
