NATIONAL FLAG DAY
22 JULY 2025
The National Flag Day of India is a commemorative occasion that pays tribute to the Indian national flag, its journey, and the powerful values it inspires. In 2025, the focus is on fostering unity, educating the nation about the flag's rich heritage, and cherishing the ideals of freedom it represents. This day is deeply significant not just for its historical roots, but because of the pride and collective identity it fosters among all Indians.
The evolution of the Indian national flag is a narrative of innovation and aspiration.
Early flags emerged during the struggle against colonial rule, like the first unofficial flag hoisted in 1906 at Parsee Bagan, Kolkata and the overseas effort by Madame Bhikaji Cama in 1907.
The modern tricolor owes much to Pingali Venkayya, who designed successive prototypes culminating in the 1947 version. Saffron at the top, white in the center (with the Ashoka Chakra added on adoption), and green at the base, each have a meaning rooted in India's ethos.
22 July 1947 is the most important date for the Indian flag, as the tricolor was officially adopted by India's Constituent Assembly on this day. Just weeks before independence, this act formalized a symbol that had long unified freedom fighters, activists, and ordinary citizens alike.
The National Flag Day program was conducted by Mathematics Department.
Sreenanda P K conducted a quiz program for the students at the morning assembly on the behalf of National Flag Day. Every student participated well.
