At a special NMML Society meeting in the middle of June, it was decided to change the organization’s name to PMML Society. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the Society’s vice president, presided over the meeting.
The new name was ultimately given formal clearance a few days ago after going through a few administrative procedures, according to sources.
August 14 has been chosen as the day for the name to take effect, according to NMML officials.
