Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to participate enthusiastically in the Har Ghar Tiranga movement and renew their collective resolve to contribute towards building a Viksit Bharat.
In a social media post, Mr Modi said, ” Our Tricolour is our pride and a constant source of inspiration to always give our best for the nation.” The prime minister said he is glad that this year’s efforts are dedicated to Vande Mataram and that too at a time when we are marking its 150th anniversary.
The Culture Ministry said the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign this year would seek to bring the spirit of patriotism to streets and homes across the country through Tiranga Yatras, Tiranga Rallies, Tiranga Concerts and mass singing of Vande Mataram. The ministry said the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram would provide an opportunity for citizens to celebrate the national song as part of the Independence Day festivities.
A key feature of this year’s celebrations will be ‘Suryapath Tiranga’, described by the ministry as a first-of-its-kind initiative aimed at bringing Indians across the world together in a global celebration of the Tricolour. The Ministry appealed to citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes and upload their selfies on the Har Ghar Tiranga website.
The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has emerged as a nationwide public participation initiative associated with Independence Day celebrations, encouraging citizens to display the national flag and express their connection with the country.
