NEW DELHI, India — Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged citizens to participate enthusiastically in the Har Ghar Tiranga movement by hoisting the Tricolour at their homes and reaffirming their collective commitment to building a Viksit Bharat. The appeal came as this year’s campaign is being linked with the 150th anniversary of the national song Vande Mataram.
- PM Modi urged citizens to join the Har Ghar Tiranga movement and display the national flag at home.
- This year’s campaign is being dedicated to Vande Mataram as the national song marks its 150th anniversary.
- Tiranga Yatras, rallies, concerts and mass singing of Vande Mataram are planned as part of the celebrations.
- The Culture Ministry has also announced ‘Suryapath Tiranga’, described as a global celebration of the Tricolour.
PM Modi Calls for Wider Participation in Har Ghar Tiranga
Sharing a post by the Ministry of Culture on X, Prime Minister Modi described the Tricolour as a source of national pride and inspiration. He called on people to take part in the campaign with enthusiasm and renew their resolve to contribute to the development of the country.
“Our Tricolour is our pride and a constant source of inspiration to always give our best for the nation.”
The Prime Minister also connected this year’s campaign with the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram. He said he was pleased that the year’s efforts were dedicated to the national song at a time when its 150th anniversary is being observed.
Vande Mataram to Be Central to This Year’s Celebrations
According to the Ministry of Culture, the 2026 Har Ghar Tiranga campaign will seek to take the spirit of patriotism beyond individual participation and into streets and homes across the country.
The ministry said the programme would feature Tiranga Yatras, Tiranga Rallies, Tiranga Concerts and mass singing of Vande Mataram. These activities are planned as part of the wider Independence Day celebrations.
The 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram is being presented as an opportunity for citizens to celebrate the national song alongside Independence Day festivities. The campaign therefore combines the public display of the national flag with events centred on the song.
‘Suryapath Tiranga’ to Add a Global Dimension
A key feature announced for this year’s celebrations is ‘Suryapath Tiranga’. The Culture Ministry described the initiative as a first-of-its-kind effort intended to bring Indians across the world together in a global celebration of the Tricolour.
The initiative forms part of the broader effort to expand public participation around the national flag and Independence Day. The ministry’s campaign is designed to connect celebrations taking place within India with participation from Indians around the world.
Citizens Encouraged to Hoist Tricolour at Home
The Ministry of Culture has appealed to citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes during the campaign. It has also encouraged participants to upload their selfies on the Har Ghar Tiranga website.
The campaign has developed into a nationwide public participation initiative associated with Independence Day celebrations. Its central idea is to encourage citizens to display the Tricolour and express their connection with the country through direct participation.
Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign Expands Independence Day Participation
The 2026 campaign is expected to combine the familiar practice of displaying the national flag with a wider programme of public events. Tiranga-related marches, rallies and concerts will be accompanied by mass singing of Vande Mataram.
By bringing these activities together, the Ministry of Culture said the campaign would seek to reinforce patriotism and collective participation ahead of Independence Day. The focus this year extends beyond flag displays to include public celebrations connected with the 150th anniversary of the national song.
What Citizens Are Being Asked to Do
The central public appeal is straightforward: citizens are being encouraged to hoist the Tricolour at their homes and participate in the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign. Participants can also share their selfies through the campaign’s website.
Alongside individual participation, the campaign will include organised public activities such as Tiranga Yatras, Tiranga Rallies and Tiranga Concerts, as well as mass singing of Vande Mataram.
Independence Day Celebrations to Focus on Collective Participation
This year’s Har Ghar Tiranga campaign brings together two major themes highlighted by the Culture Ministry: public display of the national flag and celebrations marking 150 years of Vande Mataram.
Prime Minister Modi’s appeal places citizen participation at the centre of these efforts, while the ministry’s programme provides multiple avenues for people to participate at home, in public events and through the campaign’s digital platform.
What Happens Next
The 2026 Har Ghar Tiranga campaign will continue as part of the preparations for Independence Day, with citizens being encouraged to display the Tricolour and take part in activities linked to the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram.
The government’s campaign is focused on strengthening public participation and celebrating the national flag through activities across India and among Indians worldwide.
