Other schemes named after him include Atal Bijli Bachat Yojna, Atal Adarsh Gram Panchayat Puruskar Yojna, Atal Chhatrvriti Yojna, Atal Swasthya Sewa Yojna, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government Institute of Engineering and Technology in Shimla.

The election commission (EC) has banned carry bags with the image of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee imprinted on them for distribution in Himachal Pradesh, where polls are scheduled to be held on November 4. In EC's opinion, these bags could give an undue advantage to the BJP in the polls.

The carry bags are distributed for grocery items under the public distribution system in Himachal. "The carry bags have been banned as many parties feared that these would give undue benefit to BJP and disturb the level playing field," said chief election commissioner VS Sampat.
