UGC directs HEIs to create awareness about 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign amongst students, teachers

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed all the higher education institutions in the country to create awareness about the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign amongst students, staff and other stakeholders. The central government has launched the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign as per which people are being encouraged to hoist the tricolour at their houses to mark 75 years of India's independence.

"As you are aware, as part of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' AKAM, 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has been launched to encourage citizens to hoist the National Flag of lndia in their homes. The idea behind the campaign is to instill the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of people and reminisce the journey of lndia and those who have contributed towards creating this great nation," UGC secretary Rajnish Jain said in a letter to university vice-chancellors and college principals.

The Ministry of Culture has developed a website -- www.harghartiranga.com -- where citizens are encouraged to pin a flag and upload a selfie with the tricolor. "All the Higher Education lnstitutions are requested to create awareness amongst the students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders about the website and use the official hashtag #harghartiranga for social media promotions. Efforts may also be made for participation of maximum number of citizens in hoisting the Tiranga at their homes during the lndependence week from August 13-15," Jain said.

'Har Ghar Tiranga' is a campaign under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home. Bringing the flag home collectively as a nation in the 75th year of independence thus becomes symbolic of not only an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of our commitment to nation-building. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.
