Flag of India: As a part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) along with fishermen recently unfurled the Tricolour in the Bay of Bengal. The video has now gone viral on the internet. The 22-second clip was shared by the Indian Coast Guard on its Twitter page on July 29. "As part of Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, Indian Coast Guard performed an underwater flag demo at Sea. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag," new agency ANI reported quoting ICG officials.

To mark Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav the Ministry of Culture started the 'HarGharTiranga' initiative. In the 75th year of our independence, the government has urged citizens to proudly hoist the national flag atop their homes and upload their photos on harghartiranga.com.

The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and promote awareness about the national flag.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has urged the citizens to actively participate in the initiative. "This year, when we are marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, let us strengthen the Har Ghar Tiranga Movement. Hoist the Tricolour or display it in your homes between 13th and 15th August.

This movement will deepen our connection with the national flag," he had tweeted last month.

Citizens can virtually participate in the campaign as well. The Ministry of Culture has launched a website- https://harghartiranga.com/. Citizens may visit the website and 'Pin a flag'.

The Indian National Flag is a symbol of national pride for the entire nation. To further honor the Indian flag, the Home Minister who oversees all efforts under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav has approved the program of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’. It envisages inspiring Indians everywhere to hoist the national flag at their home.
