The students were told about the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage them to bring the Tiranga home and hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s Independence. The flag could now be made up of different materials like polyester, cotton, etc. other than Khadi cloth. Hoisting the flag at 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. This also developed a feeling of patriotism in our hearts and sense of belonging in our minds. It made us realize our fundamental duties at individual basis. We as citizens are proud to acknowledge our incredible freedom struggle and the beautiful journey of the Tiranga.
