Har Ghar Tiranga campaign under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav

The Indian National Flag represents free India, evoking patriotism in the hearts of the masses. One can proudly associate the ‘Tricolor’ with the many brave souls who dedicated, even gave up their lives, so that the National Flag could fly high.
From the moment it was first hoisted, it has symbolized all our victories as a nation.
The National Flag of India was adopted in the meeting of the Constituent Assembly on 22nd July 1947, days before India gained Independence on 15^thAugust 1947.
The colors of the National Flag of India hold great significance and were chosen distinctively to portray the spirit of India.
Saffron indicates strength and courage, white indicates peace and truth and green stands for fertility and growth.
The Chakra present in the center of the Flag symbolizes motion, progress, and advancement.
The dignity of the National Flag of India is governed by the Flag Code of India and its amendments. It describes the conventions, practices, and instructions for the display of the National Flag.
‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ was a campaign under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home from 13^th-15^th August 2022.
Our relationship with the flag has always been more formal and institutional rather than personal.
Bringing the flag home collectively as a nation in the 75th year of independence thus becomes symbolic of not only an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of our commitment to nation-building.
The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.
