The Government of India, under the aegis of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM)' introduced the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' Campaign last year. The campaign was an immense success in 2022, when 23 crore households hoisted the Tiranga at their homes physically and six crore people uploaded selfies on the HGT Website.

On Friday, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar flagged off the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' bike rally from New Delhi's Pragati Maidan. As part of Har Ghar Tirangan Abhiyan 2.0, the government has announced that citizens can buy national flags from their nearest post office for a nominal cost of Rs 25, like last year. This initiative aims to promote patriotism and national pride among citizens.
