This announcement was made as a part of the celebration in the honour of Maharishi Valmiki ji, who was a scared sage and author of one of the greatest Indian epics, The Ramayana.
Therefore, the decision of renaming all the institutions has been made to pay a tribute to Valmiki Ji's irreplacable contributions to the fine Indian literature, culture and art.
