Har Ghar Tiranga: A People’s Celebration of the Tiranga

Posted On: 13 AUG 2025 6:13PM

The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, launched under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, was envisioned as a way to transform India’s relationship with its National Flag from a purely formal and institutional symbol into one that is deeply personal. The idea was simple yet profound — to encourage every citizen to bring the Tiranga home, hoist it with pride, and celebrate India’s independence as a shared and heartfelt experience. The Ministry of Culture serves as the nodal agency, steering this nationwide initiative.

From its inception, Har Ghar Tiranga has grown beyond an annual programme into a mass people’s movement. Over the years, it has drawn unprecedented participation from every corner of the country — from bustling cities to remote villages, from corporate offices to schools, from defence forces to self-help groups. The campaign has found support from e-commerce platforms, railways, civil aviation, the armed forces, and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), ensuring that the message of patriotism reaches every home. Self-help groups have been instrumental in large-scale flag production, ensuring that the Tiranga is available and accessible to all.

Har Ghar Tiranga 2025 Edition – Celebrating the Spirit of the Nation

The Tiranga is more than just a flag—it is a living emblem of India’s unity, diversity, and resilience. The Har Ghar Tiranga 2025 campaign builds on the resounding success of previous years, infusing it with fresh energy, creativity, and opportunities for citizens to connect with the national flag in deeply personal and community-driven ways.

This year’s edition will unfold in phases, ensuring participation from every corner of the country in the run-up to Independence Day. The celebrations will culminate on 15^th August 2025 with a unified display of the Tiranga across homes, institutions, and public spaces, symbolizing a collective affirmation of national pride.

Jan Bhagidari for Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan

The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign draws its strength from a whole of society approach, bringing together ministries, departments, States, Union Territories, and citizens in a unified effort. This coordinated participation ensures that the celebrations reach every part of the country and resonate with people from all walks of life.

Under the spirit of Jan Bhagidari Self Help Groups (SHGs) across the country have played a pivotal role in making the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign a truly inclusive movement. Women-led SHGs have been at the forefront of manufacturing the National Flag, ensuring not only adherence to quality standards but also timely availability across urban and rural areas. Their efforts have extended beyond production to active participation in the distribution of flags, enabling citizens in even the remotest regions to join the celebrations. This collaboration reflects the strength of community-driven initiatives in translating national campaigns into grassroots realities.

Uttar Pradesh

In Uttar Pradesh, the State Rural Livelihood Mission has mobilised around 30,000 self-help group members to produce an impressive 2 crore national flags for the Har Ghar Tiranga 2025 campaign. This large-scale effort has not only brought together thousands of women from across the state but has also fostered a deep sense of pride and unity, as they contribute their skills to creating the national symbol that will adorn millions of homes.

Bihar

In Bihar, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has brought together nearly 500 skilled and first-time artisans across 10–15 districts, working through producer companies such as Shilpgram and Janki, as well as other local institutions. With proper training in place, both seasoned members and newcomers are contributing to the large-scale production of flags in all three notified sizes — 20×30, 16×24, and 6×9 inches — using materials like satin and roto polyester. So far, around 3 lakh Tirangas have been stitched and supplied locally within the state. The work not only instills a deep sense of national pride but also provides a steady livelihood.

Assam

In Assam, the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan brought together Self Help Groups (SHGs) through a coordinated effort of the district administration, Block Mission Management Units of the Assam State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ASRLM), and other departments. Priority was given to SHGs with proven expertise in tailoring and textile work, ensuring they could immediately begin large-scale flag production. In Assam, SHG members have been producing flags in standard sizes such as 20"x30", 16"x24", and 12"x18", using khadi cotton, polyester, and other approved materials in line with the Flag Code of India. Production has been steadily scaled up to meet demand ahead of Independence Day, with distribution taking place at district, block, and state levels. For many SHG women, this initiative has been more than seasonal employment—it has provided a dignified source of income, strengthened their entrepreneurial confidence, and brought a shared sense of pride in contributing to a national celebration.

Various ministries and departments are also actively contributing to the campaign: he Journey So Far: 2022–2024
