'Har Ghar Tiranga' a success! More than 5 Cr Tiranga selfies uploaded on Har Ghar Tiranga website

New Delhi, Aug 16: More than 5 Crore Tiranga selfies have been uploaded on the Har Ghar Tiranga website. As India embarks on it’s 76th year of Independence wrapping up the 75 week countdown to Aug 15th, 2022, the Har Ghar Tiranga initiative of the govt was driven by the nodal Ministry for Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav; the Ministry of Culture.

 

 

 

The initiative dedicated to fostering deeper personal connect with the Tiranga requested Indians everywhere to display the flag at home or their place of work as a commitment to the cause of nation building during Amrit Kaal (25 years from now to India@2047). The programme conceived in a hybrid format envisaged a physical and emotional connect with the flag itself in the personal context and also envisaged a collective celebration and amplification of patriotic fervor through the act of uploading a selfie on the special website created for this initiative.

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier in the morning in his Independence Day speech Prime Minister, Narendra Modi had remarked that in the last few days, we saw and experienced a new force that was the renaissance of collective conscience and the revival of this collective conscience is the biggest treasure of the country and is like nectar that emerged through the years of the struggle for freedom. PM Modi had given a call on Jul 22, this year to join the Har Ghar Tiranga movement by hoisting or displaying the national flag at homes.

 

The achievement of 5 Cr Tiranga selfies has been achieved on the afternoon of Aug 15, at around 4 pm. The commemoration of 75 years of independence started on 12 Mar, 2021 as a 75-week countdown to Aug 15, 2022 and will continue till Aug 15, 2023. Prime Minister Modi in his Independence Day speech to the nation also said "I urge the youth to dedicate the next 25 years of their lives to the development of the nation. We will work towards the development of the entire humanity. That is the strength of India.”

 

The Culture Ministry in its statement said, 5 crore selfies with the flag is a testimony to 5 crore promises to keep India at the top and to make India the Supreme Nation.
