Campaign, University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar has
ordered students at higher education institutions to upload a photo with the
national flag on the website harghartiranga.com. The Chairman said, "The
kids can also pin their places on the website."
Asserting
that the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is one of the world's largest programmes of
this [grand] sort in terms of breadth and participation, the UGC Chairman
reaffirmed that the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is now in progress at a meeting
with the HEIs.
The
Chairman said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated a 75-week national
countdown to the 75th anniversary of independence from Sabarmati Ashram on
March 12, 2021.
One
of the " vast outlines" of the Azadi ka campaign is the "Har
Ghar Tiranga" initiative. Amrit Mahotsav, the UGC Chairman, stated at the
meeting that more than 20 crore households in India are expected to fly the
national flag between August 13 and August 15, 2022, in honour of India's 75th
Independence Day. This will foster a sense of patriotism and acknowledge
India's progress over the previous 75 years.
Additionally, the UGC has ordered all schools, colleges, and other
educational institutions nationwide to observe the Independence Day event by
raising the National Flag on their property on August 15 after 9 a.m. The
Commission further indicated that the flag housing ceremony might be held
virtually due to the current Covid circumstances.
The theme of this year's Independence Day celebration, "Har
Ghar Tiranga," calls for schools, universities, and other educational
institutions to encourage students to fly the national flag from the rooftops
of their homes.
