Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha has written a letter to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation for the name change of King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital to ‘Kaushalya Eklavya Memorial Hospital’. 

In a letter dated March 25, he addressed to the Health Committee Chairman, Harish Bhandirge, stating that as our country moves towards re-establishing and glorifying its rich indigenous heritage under the influence of the inspiring concept of ‘Swadeshi’, it is our collective duty to reconsider the names of public institutions.
