As India continues to ramp up its space program it continues to build new facilities to handle additional launches.
Not unlike the US and Russia, may times these facilities are named after significant figures from their history.
However, because of their large population, their list of historically-significant people is also larger. They don't have the luxury of naming entire facilities after one person. They've gone to a convention where they name structures and functions after people.
I don't know very many of them but I have heard one name that stuck with me: the Mahatma Gantry.
