Rajasthan's education department has launched 'Sarthak Naam Abhiyan', a program offering a government-issued book of nearly 3,000 suggested names to help schoolchildren avoid embarrassing monikers. The initiative aims to encourage parents to choose pleasant, simple, and positive names, with teachers to discuss options in parent-teacher meetings. The program is voluntary, requiring parental consent for any name changes.
