Over 80 Lakh National Flags To Be Hoisted Across Assam From Aug 13 to 15

Mumbai: Along with the rest of the country, 80 lakh national flags will be flown in homes, offices and business establishments across Assam from August 13 to 15, 2022.

According to an official release, this will be done as part of the Har Ghar Tiranga programme, which is being implemented by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India under the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ to celebrate 75 years of Independence. Under this initiative, 20 crore tricolours will be hoisted across the country with the active participation of the public.

In Assam, the target is to cover 80 lakh rural and urban households including government and private institutions, schools and business establishments. The idea behind this initiative is to create a sense of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about our national flag.

In Assam, the Cultural Affairs Department has started preparations for the successful implementation of the program in collaboration with the Panchayat and Rural Development, Information and Public Relations Department and other government departments.

Accordingly, the Panchayat and Rural Development Department have started the production of national flags of different sizes at the local level through self-help groups. The department will also set up stalls at the district and village level so that the national flag can be made available to the public for purchase at their nearest places.

Similarly, to ensure mass participation of the public in the Har Ghar Tiranga programme, extensive awareness activities are also being taken by the Assam Government across the state.
