Har Ghar Tiranga: The campaign was a resounding success last year, with crores of families hoisting the tricolour at their homes, and six crore people uploading selfies on the dedicated website.
The "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence, kicked off again this year with a bike rally in Delhi by Members of Parliament. MPs and ministers gathered at Pragati Maidan with tricolour flags on their bikes to encourage public participation. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar flagged it off this morning around 8 am. #WATCH | 'Har Ghar Tiranga' bike rally flagged off by Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, from Pragati Maidan in Delhi.

The bike rally reached the India Gate circle. It then moved in a circle around the India Gate complex, crossing the Kartavya Path and culminated at the Major Dhyan Chand Stadium.
The campaign, in which people will be encouraged to hoist the national flag at their homes, will be celebrated across the country from August 13 to August 15, as part of the "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav" -- the government's initiative to mark 75 years of India's Independence.
