The Indian Army has renamed 246 roads, residential areas, and military installations to honor gallantry award recipients and military commanders, part of a decolonization initiative. This effort follows Prime Minister Modi's 2021 directive to review colonial influences in the military.

The renaming includes 124 roads, 77 residential communities, and various military complexes. Key changes include Mall Road to Arun Khetarpal Marg and Kirby Place to Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguruse. The initiative reflects India's commitment to its military heritage and national sovereignty.
