Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday launched the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan 3.0 at Lok Seva Bhawan in Odisha capital, encouraging citizens to display the national flag at their residences in view of the 78th Independence Day.

The campaign began on August 9 and will continue till August 15.

Deputy CM Pravtai Parida, Revenue Minister Suresh Pujari and Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan were also present on the occasion.

“Chief Minister inaugurated the Har Ghar Tiranga initiative…Tomorrow this campaign will run in every district under the supervision of the collector and every school, college, every house will have a tricolour…,” the Deputy CM said.

THE CAMPAIGN

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had given a nationwide call, urging citizens to participate in the third edition of the campaign aimed at raising awareness about the national flag and to instil a sense of patriotism in the people. “As this year’s Independence Day approaches, let’s again make #HarGharTiranga a memorable mass movement. I am changing my profile picture and I urge you all to join me in celebrating our Tricolour by doing the same. And yes, do share your selfies on https://harghartiranga.com,” he posted on X.

The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign was launched in 2022 under the banner of Azadi ka Amrit Mohatsav to mark 75 years of India’s independence. More than 5 crore selfies were uploaded on the website that year.

According to the official website of the campaign, the idea of this campaign was rooted in the thought that people’s relationship with the Indian flag has always been formal and official. By bringing the Tiranga home, people will be able to connect with the Indian flag, and this act will symbolise everyone’s active effort in nation-building.
