Har Ghar Tiranga! Over 80 lakh Tirangas to soar the skies in Assam

Dispur, Jul 19: Along with the rest of the country, 80 lakh national flags will be hoisted in houses, offices and commercial establishments across Assam from Aug 13 to Aug 15. The initiative is being undertaken under the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' programme.

 

 

 

 

According to the official release, this will be done as part of the Har Ghar Tiranga Programme, that is being implemented by the Ministry of Culture, under 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' to mark the celebration of 75 years of Independence. Under the initiative, 20 Cr 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 the govt and private institutions, schools and commercial establishments. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and promote awareness about our national flag.

 

 

 

 

 

In Assam, the Cultural Affairs Department has started preparations for the successful implementation of the programme with the Panchayat and Rural Development, Information and Public Relations Department and other govt departments. Accordingly, the Panchayat and Rural Development Department has started the production of national flags of different sizes locally through Self-Help Groups.

 

 

The department will also set up stalls at district and village levels so that national flags can be made available for purchase by the public at their nearest locations. Similarly, to ensure mass participation of the public in the Har Ghar Tiranga programme, extensive awareness activities are also being taken by the Assam state govt across the state.
