In the 112th ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on July 28, Prime Minister Modi called upon all Indians to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to celebrate Independence Day. He highlighted the growing trend of taking selfies with the national flag and sharing them on social media. He urged party leaders and workers to ensure that the national flag is hoisted on houses, offices, and shops.
‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is a campaign that forms part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. It was started in 2021 to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke a sense of patriotism in the hearts of the people and promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.
Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence and the glorious history of its people, culture, and achievements. This Mahotsav is dedicated to the people of India, who have not only been instrumental in bringing India this far in its evolutionary journey but also hold within them the power and potential to enable PM Modi’s vision of activating India 2.0, fueled by the spirit of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
