The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign was first introduced in 2022, as part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and went on to evolve into a widespread movement. The campaign aims to instil a sense of patriotism and increase citizen’s awareness of the significance of the national flag.
In 2022, the national flag was hoisted in over 23 crore homes, with six crore people uploading their selfies on the official portal. This number grew to 10 crore in 2023.
