Ready to hoist national flag? Here's how to buy Tricolour via India Post

As the nation gears up to commemorate its 76th Independence Day, the government has launched Har Ghar Tirangan Abhiyan 2.0, an initiative encouraging citizens to proudly hoist the national flag in their homes. To make the Tricolour easily accessible to every Indian, the Department of Post has taken a step to offer the Indian national flag for purchase through both online and offline channels.

The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, scheduled to take place from August 13 to August 15, 2023, will see a widespread distribution of the national flag through India's extensive postal network, encompassing approximately 1.60 lakh post offices across the nation. As part of this campaign, citizens can avail themselves of the Tricolour at a nominal cost of Rs 25 per flag, as highlighted in a recent press release dated August 2, 2023.

India Post has introduced an online platform also for the hassle-free purchase of the national flag, making it a convenient option for citizens from all corners of the country. The online sale will be facilitated through the official India Post website, www.indiapost.gov.in.
