Independence Day 2025: How to participate in Har Ghar Tiranga and receive an official certificate and digital badge
There's a special kind of magic in the small acts that bring a nation together. As our country is gearing up for its 79th Independence Day on August 15, 2025, one such initiative is taking centre stage once again, by inviting every household to hoist the Tiranga with pride and symbolism of the emotional bond between citizens and the symbol of their freedom. This simple gesture connects the people with the patriotic spirit of the season. India's 79th Independence Day celebration: Har ghar Tiranga campaign 2025 This year, India's Independence Day marks 78 years since the country gained freedom in 1947. This year, the 4th edition of the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign invites every Indian to hoist the national flag at home, embracing it as an act of patriotic devotion. Citizens are encouraged to share their Tiranga selfies and become Har Ghar Tiranga Ambassadors, earning digital badges and certificates from the Ministry of Culture for their participation. First launched in 2022, under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav initiative, the campaign has grown into a powerful people's movement with an aim to transform the national flag from a formal symbol into a personal expression of pride and unity in the nation. What is the volunteer programme? This year, the Ministry of Culture is taking the campaign further with its Har Ghar Tiranga Volunteer Programme. Volunteers across the country are being put to expand the campaign in order to make the campaign more impactful, by visiting neighbourhoods, helping households hoist the Tiranga correctly, distributing flags, and encouraging people to upload selfies on the campaign portal starting on August 2. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Volunteers who fulfil their roles successfully receive official certificates. Top contributors with the highest engagement are set to be recognised at state and national events. This has a transformative impact beyond just patriotism In Uttar Pradesh, the state government is using funds from the State Finance Commission to distribute 60 lakh flags free of cost in urban poor communities, and each of these flags is produced by local Self-Help Groups (SHGs), empowering around 29,000 women. Across India, SHGs have become a living force in flag production. As Culture Secretary Govind Mohan explained, according to a TOI report, 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. As per reports by TOI, in Uttar Pradesh, more than 4.6 crore flags will be hoisted this year, supported by rallies, cultural events, and flag festivals to encourage mass participation in the campaign. Similarly, in Varanasi, women SHGs have already produced 2.5 lakh flags for distribution across zones in the city, marking this campaign as both patriotic and empowering. In other areas, the campaign is blending with swachhata (cleanliness) and swadeshi (local pride) efforts. In Madhya Pradesh, officials are planning rallies, clean-up drives, and cultural events around the Tiranga to reinforce civic engagement and national identity.
