Srinagar, Jammu: From Kathua to Kupwara, people of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly children are organising rallies, waving Tiranga and are enthusiastically waiting to join ‘HarGharTiranga’ campaign.
The campaign is being celebrated under the aegis of AzadiKaAmritMahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence from 13th to 15th August.
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.
Our relationship with the flag has always been more formal and institutional than personal. Bringing the flag home collectively as a nation in the 75th year of independence thus becomes symbolic of not only an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of our commitment to nation-building.
To mark this momentous occasion, the J&K Administration is encouraging citizens to hoist the flag in their homes from 13th to 15th August 2022 besides the citizens can also ‘Pin a Flag’ virtually at https://harghartiranga.com, along with posting a ‘Selfie with Flag’ on the site.
Recently, Prime Minister NarendraModi called upon all citizens to turn the ‘HarGharTiranga’ campaign into a mass movement by hoisting or displaying the national flag at their homes and using the tricolour as display picture of their social media accounts, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence day.
The J&K Government has also launched National Anthem Singing Competition 2022 for which anyone above the age of 13 can register upto 7th August 2022 on the portal https://tinyurl.com/NatAnthemdiprjk .
