Telangana Renames Raj Bhavan as Lok Bhavan
The Telangana government has officially renamed Raj Bhavan as Lok Bhavan, reflecting a symbolic shift toward greater public engagement and accessibility. The decision aims to underline the government’s commitment to transparency, democracy, and people-centric governance.
Officials explained that the renaming represents a conscious effort to make the residence of the State Governor more approachable and aligned with the principles of public service and citizen participation. The move is also expected to enhance public awareness about the role of the Governor and foster closer interaction with the community through outreach programs and official functions.
Authorities clarified that while the name has changed, the administrative functions and ceremonial responsibilities of the Governor’s office will continue as before. The renaming of Lok Bhavan is seen as part of Telangana’s broader initiative to modernize government institutions and promote the idea of governance that is more connected to the people it serves.
