The initial phase scheduled from 2nd–8th of August aims at creating awareness through creative initiatives. It was revealed that as part of this phase educational institutions and public spaces will be adorned with Tiranga-themed wall paintings, murals, and rangoli art. Exhibitions curated by the Ministry of Culture will be displayed in schools and government offices.
The second phase to be held between 9th–12th August will centre on mass mobilisation and celebration. Grand cultural festivals (Tiranga Mahotsavs) and melas will be organised, highlighting local arts, crafts, and products, especially those by Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in Tricolour themes.
This phase will also witness bike and cycle rallies, youth parades, and community Tiranga Yatras aimed at enhancing public involvement. Markets and public areas will be decorated, and the distribution of National Flags will be facilitated primarily through SHGs.
The final phase to be celebrated between 13th–15th August will witness flag hoisting ceremonies, and illuminations of key government buildings, institutions, and public landmarks. Major flag hoisting events are scheduled in Srinagar and Jammu. Citizens will also be encouraged to participate in the popular ‘Selfie with Tiranga’ campaign, uploading their photos with the National Flag on the designated online portal.
About the salient features of this campaign, it was revealed that over 15 lakh National Flags are set to be distributed across the UT besides a dedicated digital portal will facilitate real-time monitoring and event reporting.
