The change in name will come into effect as soon as the State government issues a notification.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the central government has given its approval to rename Hoshangabad district in the state as Narmadapuram.
Similarly, the Centre has also given its nod to rename Babai town in the district as Makhan Nagar, after noted Hindi poet and journalist Makhanlal Chaturvedi.
"The Madhya Pradesh government had sent to the Centre a proposal to change the name of Hoshangabad to Narmadapuram and of Babai to Makhan Nagar, which has been cleared," Mr. Chouhan said in a tweet.
