Jaipur, Aug 2025 – A review meeting was held on Thursday at the Secretariat under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Shri Sudhansh Pant, in the presence of Principal Secretary, Tourism, Art & Culture Shri Rajesh Yadav, Secretary, Panchayati Raj Dr. Jogaram, Secretary, Local Self-Government Department Shri Ravi Jain, Director, Social Justice & Empowerment Shri Ashish Modi, and other senior officers from various departments. The meeting reviewed progress so far on the Har Ghar Tiranga programme, being held from August 2 to August 15, 2025, in three phases as per the guidelines of the Ministry of Culture, Government of India.

The Chief Secretary said that, as every year, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign will once again infuse new energy into the spirit of patriotism among citizens. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Bhajanlal Sharma, various activities are being organized in coordination with multiple departments to inspire a sense of patriotism and dedication among citizens.

He directed that during campaign events like Tiranga Mela and Tiranga Concert, local products and artists should be given opportunities, and eco-friendly products made by state Self-Help Groups should be used to promote the Vocal for Local initiative.

The Chief Secretary instructed all district collectors via video conference to regularly monitor activities in their districts and ensure data is uploaded to the campaign portal. He emphasized active participation of Tiranga Volunteers and achieving a distribution target exceeding last year’s number of flags.

He stressed that during official ceremonies on national occasions, the process of honoring government employees and others must strictly uphold integrity, credibility, and transparency, with proper scrutiny of eligibility and achievements.

He also instructed the Panchayati Raj Department – the campaign’s nodal department – to immediately procure the required flags, distribute them to all institutions under its jurisdiction (Gram Panchayats, Panchayat Samitis, Zila Parishads, etc.), and ensure compliance with Ministry of Culture guidelines for all three phases so the campaign is successfully completed within a week.

Departments making outstanding contributions to the campaign’s success will be recognized and honored by the government, and Panchayati Raj’s nodal officer will stay in regular contact with the Ministry of Culture.

The Local Self-Government Department was directed to organize activities under themes such as Har Ghar Tiranga, Har Ghar Swachhata: Utsav of Freedom, and Har Ghar Tiranga with Swachhata.
