India's 79th Independence Day: Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign 2025 This Independence Day marks 78 years since India's liberation in 1947.

The Volunteer Programme In 2025, the Ministry of Culture is expanding the effort through the Har Ghar Tiranga Volunteer Programme . Volunteers nationwide are working to extend the campaign's reach by visiting neighbourhoods, assisting households in correctly hoisting the Tiranga, distributing flags, and motivating people to upload selfies to the campaign portal from August 2 onwards. Live Events Volunteers who complete their tasks receive official certificates, and top performers with the highest engagement will be honoured at state and national events. A Movement That Goes Beyond Patriotism In Uttar Pradesh, the state government is using State Finance Commission funds to distribute 60 lakh flags free of cost in urban poor communities. Each of these flags is made by local Self-Help Groups (SHGs), empowering around 29,000 women. Across India, SHGs have become a driving force in flag production. As Culture Secretary Govind Mohan told TOI, 'when the campaign began in 2022, over 7.5 crore flags were supplied by the government, but by 2024, production had shifted almost entirely to these local groups, reducing the demand for centrally supplied flags to only 20 lakh.' According to TOI reports, in Uttar Pradesh alone, over 4.6 crore flags will be hoisted this year, accompanied by rallies, cultural events, and flag festivals to boost public participation. In Varanasi, SHGs have already produced 2.5 lakh flags for citywide distribution, making this campaign both a patriotic and an empowering movement. Elsewhere, the initiative is merging with swachhata (cleanliness) and swadeshi (local pride) efforts. In Madhya Pradesh, authorities are organising rallies, clean-up drives, and cultural programmes centred around the Tiranga to strengthen civic engagement and national pride. [With TOI inputs]

‘Three key bills passed in 5 months, new milestone set,' says Delhi CM Rekha Gupta
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday claimed that her government has set a new milestone by passing three significant bills including the one to regulate private school fees within just five months of its tenure. 'Our priority is not political theatrics but constructive debate and governance focused on resolving public issues. Every MLA was given the opportunity to speak, and the opposition was also allotted equal time so that the House could truly function as the voice of the people,' said Gupta. Highlighting her government's achievements, the CM pointed out that three crucial bills had been passed in just five months, compared to only 14 bills passed in five years under the previous AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) government—most of which concerned salary revisions and GST(Goods and Services Tax). While alleging that the previous regime betrayed the people of Delhi, the CM underlined,'Our government ensures that every rupee is spent transparently in the public interest. No funds will be left idle, and no act of corruption will be tolerated.' She further claimed that her government had rebutted the lies and propaganda spread by the previous administration within the Assembly complex. Condemning the 'Gallows House' controversy, she argued that the row was a form of negative politics that not only sought to distort historical facts but also defiled the proud legacy of the House. 'The Assembly exists for law-making and public service, not for manipulating emotions,' she stressed. As part of the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign, she said, ahead of Independence Day, 2.2 million national flags will be distributed to celebrate the occasion.
