(a) & (b) The Indian National Flag is a symbol of national pride for the entire nation. To further honor our flag, National Implementation Committee headed by the Hon’ble Home Minister which oversees all efforts under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav has approved the programme of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’. It envisages inspiring Indians everywhere to hoist the national flag at their home. 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.
Necessary directions have been given to all Central Ministries, State Governments, UT Administrations etc regarding tasks to be undertaken to ensure successful implementation of the program. Efforts are on to ensure availability of flags to all the households across the country by the first week of August, 2022. Flags can be procured by the States/UTs through GeM portal and also locally.

Preparations towards Har Ghar Tiranga programme are under process and accordingly funds will be spent as and when required.
