In a move to commemorate 75 years of independence, a campaign called 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has been called from August 13 to August 15 under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. For Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan, the women of Sakhi Mandal have been given a target of manufacturing 10 lakh tricolours, for which the women of the group are working day and night in the TPC Centers (Apparel Production Training-cum-Production Centers) have been established in different districts of the State.
The women of Sakhi Mandalz are once again in an important role in this campaign. The way the women of Sakhi Mandal had shown their passion and skills by making masks during the Corona epidemic, in the same way at present they have once again taken up the task of raising the flag for the glory of the national flag.
Tricolour making is an act of responsibility with a lot of respect. Therefore, more than 1,000 rural women involved in the making of the tricolour have been trained for making the national flag according to the standards of 'Flag Code 2002'.
Savita Devi, who is associated with tricolour manufacturing in Ranchi TPC, said, “Before making the flag, we were given training and told that the ratio of the tricolour should be 3: 2. While sewing, keep in mind that threads of different colors do not get attached to each other and others. All the women are feeling very happy and proud to be associated with this work. At the same time we are also getting good income from it”.
Kiran Devi is also engaged in preparing the tricolour like Savita, she says, “The tricolour will be hoisted in every house to increase the honor of the country. This tricolour will be ready by our hands, what will be the big deal. Even at the time of Corona, we had contributed to the service of the country by making masks, but in this task of preparing the national flag, we feel a different happiness."
Before finalizing the tricolour, there are several stages of work such as cutting the right size with the machine following the guide line for stitching, followed by stitching by the women. After stitching, it is checked that there is no error, after which its packaging is done by making Ashok Chakra through screen printing in the last stage. All this work is being done by women only.
Along with the tricolour making, the women of the group will also make people aware from house to house about the campaign.
Under the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan, flags manufactured in all TPCs will be sent to all houses including all Sakhi Mandals through cluster level organization. These women of Sakhi Mandal will not only build the national flag, but will also go to the homes of people on the 75th anniversary of independence and inform them about the importance and dignity of the national flag through posters, banners, videos etc. By training these women, the flag code has been explained in detail.
