Guru Ghasidas Central University in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, will replace 'India' with 'Bharat' on marksheets, degrees, and official communications. The Vice Chancellor cited the G20 Summit's use of 'Bharat' by the President as inspiration, emphasizing the name's deep cultural and historical roots. This move aims to reinforce the nation's traditional nomenclature, with the change to be implemented as existing supplies are depleted.
