The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign is part of the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' - India's 75th Independence Day - to be celebrated on August 15.
Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of independence and the glorious history of India's people, culture and achievements.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 31 called upon all citizens to turn the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign into a mass movement by hoisting or displaying the national flag at their homes and using the 'Tiranga' as a display picture on their social media accounts between August 2 and August 15 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India's Independence.
According to the Ministry of Culture, State, Union Territories, and Ministries are participating extensively in the campaign with full fervour.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Ministry of Culture released a 'Har Ghar Tiranga' anthem featuring famous celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan, Kapil Dev, Virat Kohli, Anupam Kher and Asha Bhonsle. The video showcases the spirit, strength and diversity of India from sports, missile launches, army, to the mesmerising beauty of the country.
