Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid tribute to Pingali Venkayya on what would have been his birth anniversary, celebrating the legacy of the man who designed the Indian Tricolour. Modi’s homage to Venkayya underscores the enduring significance of the national flag and its place in India’s history.
In a heartfelt message posted on the social media platform X, Modi reflected on Venkayya’s monumental contribution to the nation. “Remembering Pingali Venkayya Ji on his birth anniversary. His effort in giving us the Tricolour will always be remembered,” the Prime Minister wrote. The message also included a call for public participation in the Har Ghar Tiranga movement.
The Har Ghar Tiranga initiative, set to run from August 9 to 15, aims to engage citizens across the country in a unified display of patriotism. Modi encouraged people to display the national flag at their homes and share their patriotic moments by posting selfies on the campaign website, harghartiranga.com.
This movement is part of a broader effort to strengthen national pride and commemorate India’s heritage in the lead-up to Independence Day. By participating, citizens can visually demonstrate their unity and respect for the Tricolour, reflecting a shared commitment to the nation’s values.
The campaign’s timing coincides with Independence Day celebrations, adding to its significance and potential for widespread engagement. Through the Har Ghar Tiranga movement, the Prime Minister hopes to inspire a collective sense of national pride and celebration.
