Vice-President Radhakrishnan launches ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’
Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan today inaugurated the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’ by hoisting the National Flag at Flag Point, Sri Vijaya Puram, on the occasion of August Kranti Diwas, commemorating the Quit India Movement of 1942.
Addressing the gathering at the State Function and Tiranga Concert on Vande Mataram at the DBRAIT Auditorium, the Vice-President said there could be no more appropriate place to launch the campaign than these historic islands, which are deeply associated with India’s freedom struggle and the history of the Tricolour.
Recalling the immortal words of the great Tamil poet Subramania Bharati, Shri Radhakrishnan said Bharati’s celebration of the ‘Mani Kodi’ reflects the eternal courage of the Indian spirit and the glory of the flag of Mother Bharat. He said the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan carries forward this spirit by bringing every citizen together under one National Flag, one motherland and one common destiny.
The event was attended by Lieutenant Governor of Andaman & Nicobar Islands Admiral D. K. Joshi (Retd.), Chief Secretary Smt. Chanchal Yadav, Chairperson of Sri Vijaya Puram Municipal Council Smt. M. Vasantha and Adhyaksh, Zilla Parishad, Shri P. Ummer, among other dignitaries..(updated on 9th august 2026)
