UA-2-UK

In August 2006, India’s Union Cabinet gave assent to a longstanding demand of the Uttarakhand movement to revert the name of the new Himalayan state from Uttaranchal to “Uttarakhand.” This decision was made official with the passage and signing into law of the State Alteration of Name Bill in December of the same year. The move was met with widespread celebration and acclaim, as popular elements within the governing Congress administration and outside social movements successfully overcame bureaucratic and political inertia that has stifled the change since its announcement in the governor’s address to the first elected state assembly in 2002.

Without getting further into the history of the “Uttaranchal” anomaly, and its unfortunate dissemination due to official usage over the last five years, this web page has been set up to guide web designers and publishers in making the transition as painlessly as possible.

Web Sites

As a service to the web designers of various popular Uttarakhand web sites, the following graphic logos have been modified to account for the name change. We suggest transitioning the domain name as well in order to clarify any further confusion.

* Interestingly, the original UANA logo did include “Uttarakhand.”
A scalable eps has also been prepared.

For Young Uttaranchal/Uttarakhand, the logo does not specifically mention Uttaranchal, so can remain the same.

Banners

The following documents have been created to help designers with stylized Devanagari or Fancy Roman banners, the characters for which have been converted to vectors for easy scalability. The documents can be opened in any vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Macromedia Freehand.
