File Naming Conventions

Effective file naming helps improve searchability, version control, and team coordination.

📂 Recommended Structure

[project/code]_[doc_type]_[location/scope]_[version/date].[ext]

✅ Examples

  • ihcrf_blog_khunti_v01.docx
  • gain_report_foodculture2024_final.pdf
  • mohfw_melframework_ncds_draft_2025-04-01.xlsx

🔁 Tips

  • Use lowercase and underscores for clarity
  • Include dates in YYYY-MM-DD format for sorting
  • Use final, draft, or version numbers consistently
  • Avoid generic names like report1.docx, final_latest_v9.docx

This ensures consistent documentation across Dropbox, Google Drive, GitHub, etc.
