Har Ghar Tiranga: The campaign was a resounding success last year, with crores of families hoisting the tricolour at their homes, and six crore people uploading selfies on the dedicated website.
New Delhi: The “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence, kicked off again this year with a bike rally in Delhi by Members of Parliament. MPs and ministers gathered at Pragati Maidan with tricolour flags on their bikes to encourage public participation. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar flagged it off this morning around 8 am.
The bike rally reached the India Gate circle. It then moved in a circle around the India Gate complex, crossing the Kartavya Path and culminated at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium.
The “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” — the government’s initiative to remember 75 years of India’s Independence — will be observed nationwide from August 13 to August 15, and it will urge people to fly the national flag at their houses.
Last year, the campaign was a great success, with millions of families flying the tricolor at home and six crore individuals posting selfies on the Har Ghar Tiranga websites.
According to the culture ministry, the government’s program aims to focus attention on the nation’s freedom struggle and the accomplishments it has achieved.
“The campaign’s goal is to instill patriotism in people’s hearts and to remember India’s journey and those who contributed to the creation of this great nation.” Last year, this initiative was a huge success, with crores of households physically hoisting the ‘Tiranga’ at their homes and six crore people uploading photographs to the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ website,” it stated.
The government had stated that this year, India Post will sell and facilitate the national flag through its 1.6 lakh post offices to commemorate the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.

Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited individuals to use the word ‘Tiranga’ as their profile picture on social media accounts between August 2 and August 15.
Prior to recently, only specific occasions permitted Indian citizens to raise the National Flag. This changed after a decade-long legal battle by businessman Naveen Jindal resulted in the historic Supreme Court decision of January 23, 2004, which ruled that the freedom to fly the national flag with respect and dignity is a fundamental right of an Indian citizen under the terms of Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution.
