Prime Minister Narendra Modi has honored the memory of Pingali Venkayya on his birth anniversary, celebrating the man who designed the Indian national flag. In a tribute shared via social media platform X, Modi reflected on Venkayya’s monumental contribution to India’s national identity.
“Remembering Pingali Venkayya Ji on his birth anniversary. His effort in giving us the Tricolour will always be remembered,” Modi wrote. The message highlights Venkayya’s enduring legacy and his role in shaping one of the most enduring symbols of India’s sovereignty.
Alongside this tribute, Prime Minister Modi has launched the Har Ghar Tiranga movement, encouraging citizens to actively participate in celebrating the national flag. The initiative, running from August 9 to 15, invites people across the country to display the Tricolour at their homes and to document their participation by posting selfies on the campaign’s dedicated website, harghartiranga.com.
The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign is designed to boost national pride and unity as the country approaches Independence Day. By urging citizens to unfurl the flag and share their patriotic moments online, the campaign aims to create a nationwide display of solidarity and pride.
The timing of the campaign aligns with the celebrations of India’s Independence Day, enhancing its relevance and reach. The movement provides an opportunity for people from all walks of life to show their connection to the nation and its values.
