Delhi schools must hoist Tricolour from Aug 13-15

Marking the 75th year of India’s independence, Government of India under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav has launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.

Furthering this initiative, all schools in the national capital have been advised to bring the Tiranga and hoist it atop their school buildings from August 13 to 15.

“To popularise ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ and ensure maximum public participation, all government, aided and private schools and offices will launch a special ‘Information, Education, and Communication campaign’ for sensitisation and awareness of students, parents and staff with immediate effect,” stated an official from the Education department.

The department has further recommended all schools to conduct special assemblies and awareness programmes. The school management committee members are involved to “motivate the parents and people living in the vicinity.”

Additionally, they should encourage residents of nearby areas to hoist the flag and conduct patriotic events.
