What is Har Ghar Tiranga campaign?

The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign was launched as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations to encourage people to bring the national flag into their homes and celebrate Independence Day with a sense of collective pride.

The campaign has since become an important part of Independence Day celebrations, with citizens, government officials, public figures and organisations participating by hoisting the Tricolour and sharing photographs online. India will celebrate its 80th Independence Day on August 15, 2026. The day marks the country's independence from British rule in 1947 and is observed with flag-hoisting ceremonies, cultural programmes and patriotic events across the country.

PM Modi urges citizens’ participation

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to participate in the nationwide ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement, linking it to the broader vision of building a developed India. The PM said the campaign carried special significance this year as it coincided with the 150th anniversary of the National Song, ‘Vande Mataram’
