Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday hoisted the national flag at his residence as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign ahead of Independence Day.
In a post on X, Shah said the campaign had strengthened the spirit of patriotism and pride among people across the country.
“Today, at my residence in New Delhi, I hoisted the tricolour under the #HarGharTiranga campaign. This campaign, launched under the leadership of Modi ji, is today further strengthening the sentiment of patriotism and pride in the heart of every Indian. Today, crores of countrymen are connecting with the tricolour and empowering the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat,” Shah said.
Several other Union ministers also participated in events under the campaign. Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu flagged off a Tiranga Rally as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.
“Tiranga in our hands, Vande Mataram in our hearts. A beautiful Tiranga Yatra, celebrating the spirit of our Bharat,” Naidu said in a post on X.
Launched under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign encourages citizens to bring the national flag home and hoist it to mark India’s Independence Day.
As India prepares to celebrate its 80th Independence Day, this year’s campaign has a special focus on commemorating 150 years of ‘Vande Mataram’.
The major activities under Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 include Tiranga rallies and processions, exhibitions, concerts, bike and cycle rallies, tricolour illumination of prominent locations, decorations and Rangoli programmes. Activities will also be organised under the theme “Tiranga Salute to the Spirit of Vande Mataram”, along with the “Selfie with Tiranga” initiative.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to participate in the nationwide ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement, linking it to the broader vision of building a developed India.
PM Modi said the campaign carried special significance this year as it coincided with the 150th anniversary of the National Song, ‘Vande Mataram’.
“Our Tricolour is our pride and a constant source of inspiration to always give our best for the nation. Let us participate enthusiastically in the #HarGharTiranga movement and renew our collective resolve to contribute towards building a Viksit Bharat. Glad that this year’s efforts are dedicated to Vande Mataram and that too at a time when we are marking its 150th anniversary,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
