      The Narendra Modi government is planning to rechristen the various branches of India's premier health institute AIIMS, according to news agency PTI.

      Each AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) will be given a name based on regional heroes, freedom fighters, historical events or monuments of the area or their distinct geographical identity. Currently, AIIMS are differentiated on the basis of their location.

      Most of the 23 AIIMS have submitted a list of names to the Union health ministry, according to sources quoted by PTI. Apart from fully-functional institutes, partially-operational and under-construction AIIMS will also be christened.
