On Tuesday, the Karnataka Assembly passed a bill to rename Bengaluru City University as Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University, in honour of the former Prime Minister who passed away earlier this year.
The decision, made by the Congress-majority assembly, came a few months after Manmohan Singh's death.
During his tenure as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, Singh laid the foundation for several key infrastructure projects in Bengaluru in June 2006. These included the Bangalore–Electronic City elevated highway and the Bengaluru Metro.
In addition to his role as Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh served in several prominent positions in public service. He was the Finance Minister in PV Narasimha Rao’s government and previously held the position of Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
