Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that our national flag is the pride and honour of the country. Life may be lost, but the pride of the tricolour should not be lost. In the 'Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan', let us purchase the tricolour to be hoisted at our homes with our hard earned income.
CM Chouhan said that I call upon all of you to upload your selfie with the national flag. CM Shri Chouhan was addressing a programme organised at Rag Darbari Complex, No; 10 Market, Bhopal. CM Chouhan himself reached Raag Darbari to collect the national flag for the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan. CM Chouhan took the flag from the stall of a self-help group of rural women in the premises.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given a call to unfurl the tricolour in every home during the Amrit Mahotsav of independence. In Madhya Pradesh, we have decided that the tricolour will be hoisted in every house from August 13 to 15.
Women of Self-Help Groups are engaged day and night in the supply of the national flags across the state. This National Flag is the debt of the earth on us. CM Chouhan said that I could have got the national flag, but I have come here to collect the national flag myself in the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan. You also go yourself and take the national flag and hoist the tricolour at your home with enthusiasm and zeal.
Chief Minister Chouhan took the tricolour from the women of Samarthan Self-Help Group of Eintkhedi village of Bhopal district in the Rag Darbari complex at Number 10 and obtained a receipt.
CM Chouhan discussed with Shikha Meena, Jyoti Vishwakarma, Kausar Jahan, Manju Gadwal, Radha Meena and Krishna Vishwakarma of the group regarding the ongoing activities for making the tricolour.
It is noteworthy that the production of flags is being done at a large scale by women of self-help groups in the state. Along with this, the services of micro, small and medium scale entrepreneurs, tailors, printers etc. have also been taken for the supply of flags.
The target is to supply 01 crore 51 lakh flags in the state. Selfie with flag is to be uploaded on Government of India website harghartiranga.com. All means of communication including social media are also being used for maximum public participation.
