As India gears up to celebrate the 75th anniversary of independence, the central government has launched a campaign called Har Ghar Tiranga to invoke the spirit of patriotism among all citizens. This campaign is part of the Amrit Mahotsav of Azadi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged the public to hoist the national flag in every house. Apart from this, PM Modi has asked people to change their social media profile pictures to tricolour. The campaign to change social media profiles will start from today.
To celebrate the birth anniversary of freedom fighter, Pingali Venkayya, on August 2, PM Modi urged people to change their profile picture to the Indian national flag along with hoisting the flag at homes from August 2 to August 15. The Amrit Mahotsav of Independence is a part of the Har Ghar Tricolor campaign, which is being celebrated this year to commemorate 75 years of India’s independence.
Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan: How to Participate
Those who have accounts on social media platforms can participate by changing their profile picture to tricolour. Also, under the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan, citizens have to hoist the national flag as per the rules of the Flag Code of India. The Flag Code is a set of rules and regulations framed by the government that deals with the manufacture, hosting and disposal of the national flag when required. It also talks about the orientation, size and base material of the flag. The code mentions various violations that can attract fines or even imprisonment.
For example, according to the flag code of 2002, the national flag must not be flown with a single masthead, touch the floor, be fastened in such a way that it may be damaged, or must not be displayed in an inverted manner. Other restrictions include the use of the national flag as drapery, printed on handkerchiefs, or any dress material.
A special movement ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is being organized from 13 to 15 August under the Amrit Mahotsav of Azadi.
