Modi urges citizens to join Har Ghar Tiranga movement
India's leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asked everyone in the country to join a special movement called Har Ghar Tiranga, which means 'the flag in every home.'
The Tiranga is another name for India's national flag.
Modi said the flag is a symbol of pride that should inspire people to do their best for the nation.
He also asked everyone to work together to build a better and stronger India, which he calls Viksit Bharat.
This year's campaign is extra special because it honors a famous patriotic song called Vande Mataram.
That song is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
The campaign began in 2022 during India's 75 years of independence celebrations.
This year it runs from August 9 to 17, with leaders holding flag rallies across the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to participate enthusiastically in the Har Ghar Tiranga movement in a post on X.
He described the Tricolour as the nation's pride and a constant source of inspiration to give one's best for the country.
Modi called on citizens to renew their collective resolve to contribute towards building a Viksit Bharat.
This year's campaign is dedicated to the national song Vande Mataram as the country marks its 150th anniversary.
