What is 'Har Ghar Tiranga' (HGT) initiative?
The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' (HGT) initiative aims to instil the spirit of patriotism and national pride among citizens by encouraging every Indian to hoist the national flag. It was started on August 9 and will be concluded on August 15 as part of the Independence Day celebrations.
All states and union territories are actively participating in the celebrations to ensure the campaign's success.
Key industry partners -- Indian armed forces, Central Armed Police Forces, e-commerce platforms, railways and civil aviation sector -- are also playing an active role in disseminating information and promoting the campaign, the sources said.
In 2022, the national flag was hoisted at more than 23 crore homes and 6 crore people uploaded their selfies with the Tricolour on the campaign website -- harghartiranga.com. In 2023, over 10 crore selfies were uploaded.
