New Delhi: As the nation completes 75th year of Independence, the Centre has outlined broad guidelines to make the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign a roaring success and is making appeal to all citizens to take ‘ownership’ of the national flag.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is himself exhorting citizens to take active role in this drive and ensure hoisting and displaying the national flag at their homes. In his recent Mann Ki Baat programme, PM Modi urged the citizens to turn the campaign into mass movement by displaying the national flag at their homes and also asked the younger lot to take it to next level by using the Tricolour as the display picture on their social media accounts.
A lot many institutions and government organisations including the Armed Forces have come forward to take the lead in celebrating the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. The Indian Coast Guard has been sharing videos of how it is preparing for the mega event, scheduled between Aug 13-15.
