New Delhi, Aug 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday urged citizens to actively participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to mark Independence Day on August 15 and pay tribute to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

Sharing a reel on Instagram, Modi said, “Celebrate August 15 with pride, pay tribute to freedom fighters, take a pledge for Viksit Bharat. Har Ghar Tiranga, Ghar Ghar Tiranga, Har Man Tiranga.”

“Come, let’s make Har Ghar Tiranga a celebration in every home,” the Prime Minister captioned the post as the nation prepares to celebrate its 80th Independence Day.

Earlier this week, Modi had also called upon citizens to participate in the campaign, describing the Tricolour as a symbol of “pride” and a “constant source of inspiration”.

Taking to X, he said, “Our Tricolour is our pride and a constant source of inspiration to always give our best for the nation.”

“Let us participate enthusiastically in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement and renew our collective resolve to contribute towards building a Viksit Bharat,” he said, while highlighting ‘Vande Mataram’ as the theme of this year’s campaign.

The Prime Minister said he was glad that this year’s efforts were dedicated to Vande Mataram, particularly as the nation is marking its 150th anniversary.

The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign was launched under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage citizens to bring the national flag into their homes and hoist the Tiranga as part of Independence Day celebrations.

The initiative was based on the idea that people’s relationship with the national flag had traditionally remained more formal and institutional, rather than becoming a personal expression of national pride.

By encouraging citizens to bring the flag home, the campaign sought to make the Tiranga a symbol of a personal connection with the nation, while also representing a collective commitment towards nation-building and national unity.

This year, ‘Har Ghar Tiranga 2026’ is dedicated to the spirit of 150 Years of Vande Mataram, celebrating patriotism, pride in the Tiranga and the deep love for the motherland reflected in India’s National Song.
