The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, an initiative launched under the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ festivities, was introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 22 last year. The campaign aims to deepen the connection between every citizen and the national flag, fostering a sense of reverence and unity. It encourages individuals across the country to hoist the tricolor flag at their homes, thereby symbolizing their unwavering commitment to the ideals of freedom and unity that the flag represents.
The second edition of the campaign is scheduled to be celebrated from August 13 to August 15, coinciding with the dates of the previous year’s campaign. This year’s Independence Day holds particular significance as India commemorates its 76th year of independence. As part of the campaign, the official government website for ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ provides comprehensive guidelines on the proper folding of the national flag. The step-by-step instructions ensure that the tricolor is handled and stored with the utmost respect.
Follow these steps to correctly fold the national flag:
- Begin by placing the Tricolour horizontally.
- Fold the saffron and green bands underneath the white band.
- Carefully fold the white band so that only the Ashoka Chakra is visible, with subtle traces of the saffron and green bands.
- After folding, carry the flag in your arms or palms to securely store it in a safe location.
