On the occasion of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrating India’s 75 th Independence Day,
Prime Minister Narendra Modi started the ˈHar Ghar Tirangaˈ campaign on July 22, last year.
In view of the coming Independence Day, this year Prime Minister urged the people of the
nation to participate in ˈHar Ghar Tirangaˈ movement from August 13-15.
On the twitter handle, PM Modi said that the Indian flag symbolizes the spirit of Freedom
and National Unity and urges the people to upload their photographs with the Tiranga on
the ˈHar Ghar Tirangaˈ website. PM Modi on Friday tweeted, ̎The Tiranga symbolises the
spirit of freedom and national unity. Every Indian has an emotional connect with the
Tricolour and it inspires us to work harder to further national progress. I urge you all to take
part in the #HarGharTiranga movement between 13th to 15th August. Upload your photos
with the Tiranga here... https://harghartiranga.com ̎.
̎The website is asking for the public to hoist the national flag at their respective homes and
upload their selfies from August 13-15. Meanwhile, it states that a total of 6,14,54,052
selfies have been received so far. Providing an option of uploading selfies with a flag, the
website states, ̎Get featured in Digital Tiranga Art by uploading a selfie with a flag ̎.
The campaign, which was a huge success last year, is set to reignite the spirit of patriotism
and enthusiasm surrounding Independence Day celebrations. The national flag will be
available for purchase at ration depots in both rural and urban areas for Rs 25 per piece,
encouraging residents to proudly display the Tricolour at their homes.
