Bhuban da,
 
You are absolutely correct. A good example is Gauhati University.
None of the past students will want that to change. Imagine, students coming to the US or UK having to explain the change to admission authorities.

As always, I appreciate your comments.
 
Perhaps I may add one or two things in this context. There may be exigencies for not changing a name especially by an organisation from the legal point of view. The name Guwahati was changed from Gauhati; some of the institutions or organisations still have to stick to Gauhati. The Asam Sahitya Sabha, UK Chapter, has not changed to Asom Sahitya Sabha because it is both an organisational and legal matter. People often ask: Why Asam Sahitya Sabha is not Assam Sahitya Sabha? How could a branch change the name of the organisation without the headquarters adopting it first?
 
Regards
 
Bhuban
