The theme for the Independence Day 2024 celebration is “Viksit Bharat”, which reflects the government’s vision to transform India into a developed nation by 2047. The theme aims to enhance India’s global standing through economic growth, social progress, and sustainable development.
The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign runs from August 9 to August 15. The campaign—introduced by the Ministry of Culture in 2022—aims to foster patriotism and national pride by encouraging every Indian to hoist the national flag.
“The initiative aims to instill a spirit of patriotism and national pride among citizens by encouraging every Indian to hoist the national flag,” Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, said.
On this historic day, people organise cultural programs and seminars to pay tribute to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives and languished in jails for years to break the shackles of British slavery and achieve India’s freedom.
