Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on Monday, urged citizens to engage in the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign through Tiranga Yatras (tricolor rallies), describing the event as a symbol of India's unity and a collective effort towards a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India).

Shah shared his message on social media, encouraging people to join the campaign, raise the tricolor, participate in mass singing of Vande Mataram, and share selfies on harghartiranga.com. He highlighted that this year's event coincides with the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, making it particularly meaningful for patriots.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also called on citizens to actively participate in the Har Ghar Tiranga movement, reinforcing their commitment to building a Viksit Bharat. He expressed pride in the tricolor as a source of inspiration for all citizens to contribute their best for the nation. Modi noted that this year's campaign is dedicated to Vande Mataram, coinciding with its 150th anniversary.

Campaign Celebrates 150th Anniversary of Vande Mataram

Initiated in 2022 as part of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav', the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has evolved into a national tradition, with millions of citizens voluntarily hoisting the national flag each Independence Day.

This year's campaign holds special significance as it aligns with the 150th anniversary of India's National Song, Vande Mataram, creating a unique celebration of patriotism that intertwines the national flag and song.

Mass singing of Vande Mataram will be a key feature of the Har Ghar Tiranga celebrations nationwide. To assist citizens in learning the correct rendition of the song, the Ministry of Culture has created a five-step online tutorial, accessible on the dedicated website and the Har Ghar Tiranga portal. Additionally, the selfie feature this year will include the lyrics and melody of Vande Mataram, while exhibitions will highlight the history of the national song.
