Students of all the MCD schools in Delhi will take part in the Centre's "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign from August 13 to 15, 2022, as a part of the "Azadi ka Amrit Mahitsav".

On Saturday, officials said that the students of all the 1,530 municipal schools in Delhi will take part in the Centre's "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign from August 13 to 15, 2022, as a part of the "Azadi ka Amrit Mahitsav". Prior to that, all schools under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will organise craft-related activities on August 10, in which teachers and students will make miniature national flag-themed lapel pins

These pins will be worn by teachers, students, and their parents.

"Today's children are tomorrow's future. In order to signify these lines, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's education department is organising various activities in its schools to inculcate the virtue of patriotism amongst students," the civic body said in a statement, as reported by PTI.

Since July 22, the municipal schools have been organising several activities under the campaign. These activities included fire-less cooking, making tricolour-themed dishes like salads and sandwiches, poster-making, kite-making, tree plantation, poem recitation, making scrapbooks with pictures of the heroes of the freedom struggle, "nukkad natak", quiz contests, among other activities.

The national flag will be unfurled at the municipal schools at 8 am on August 15 and the officials at the headquarters and in the zones will have to be present in any of the schools.

The municipal schools will also remain open on August 13, the second Saturday of the month, to organise the Independence Day-related activities and in the remaining time, the regular classes will be held, the statement said.
