On the occasion of Pingali Venkayya’s birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid tribute to the influential figure responsible for designing the Indian national flag. In a recent message on the social media platform X, Modi highlighted Venkayya’s pivotal role in creating the Tricolour, which has become a symbol of national pride and unity.
“Remembering Pingali Venkayya Ji on his birth anniversary. His effort in giving us the Tricolour will always be remembered,” Modi wrote, acknowledging the lasting impact of Venkayya’s work on the nation’s identity.
The Prime Minister’s tribute was accompanied by a call to action for the Har Ghar Tiranga movement, a nationwide campaign encouraging citizens to celebrate the national flag. Running from August 9 to 15, the campaign invites people to display the Tricolour at their homes and to share their photos on the website harghartiranga.com.
The Har Ghar Tiranga initiative aims to enhance national spirit and unity by involving citizens in a collective display of patriotism. Modi’s appeal for public participation underscores the importance of the flag as a symbol of freedom and national pride.
By encouraging people to unfurl the flag and post selfies, the campaign seeks to create a vibrant visual representation of national pride. This effort is designed to coincide with Independence Day celebrations, adding to its significance and reach.
The campaign offers an opportunity for citizens to connect with their heritage and express their patriotism in a tangible way. For more details on how to get involved and share your participation, visit harghartiranga.com.
