Uttar Pradesh Targets 50 Million Flags for Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a massive state-wide initiative on Monday aiming to hoist 50 million national flags across Uttar Pradesh. This campaign forms the core of the Har Ghar Tiranga movement, scheduled to culminate on Independence Day. The state administration has directed local bodies and district magistrates to ensure the availability of flags in every household, government office, and commercial establishment. This ambitious target represents the largest individual state contribution to the national patriotic program in 2026, aiming to instill a sense of pride in every citizen.

The campaign serves as a formal tribute to the sacrifices made by India's freedom fighters during the struggle for independence. During a public address, CM Adityanath emphasized that the Tiranga symbolizes India’s pride, sacrifice, and national unity. He urged citizens to participate actively, framing the movement as a way to connect the younger generation with the country's historical heritage. Local self-help groups and textile units have been mobilized to manufacture flags, boosting domestic production and providing seasonal employment to thousands of artisans across the state.

State officials have established dedicated distribution centers to facilitate the reach of the Tiranga to rural and remote areas. The government is utilizing schools, community centers, and digital platforms to spread awareness about the flag code and the significance of the campaign. This initiative is expected to bolster the domestic textile sector, particularly khadi and polyester manufacturers involved in large-scale flag production. Watch for high-profile rallies and Prabhat Pheris led by state ministers across major cities like Lucknow, Varanasi, and Noida as the state gears up for the August 15 celebrations.
