Central govt to launch Har Ghar Jhanda to encourage hosting tricolor at every Indian houses

New Delhi, June 17: In a bid to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the people, the Central government has decided to launch the 'Har Ghar Jhanda' campaign on August 15, under which people will be encouraged to hoist the national flag over their houses on Independence Day.

 

According to the reports, the Union ministry has urged people to hoist the Tricolour at their homes, institutions, and establishments and also sing the National Anthem with family to mark the celebration of Independence Day on August 15.

 

The central government is launching this initiative as part of the ongoing Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM), a celebration and commemoration of 75 years of India's independence.

 

In a statement, the government said, “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.”

 

The government added that the idea of a flag being unfurled at each home would invoke feelings of patriotism in the hearts of people and also promote awareness about the national flag.

 

Moreover, the Culture Ministry is also going to hoist the tricolor at 2,000 ASI-protected monuments across the country.
