The Government of India is holding Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 across the country from 9 to 17 August, together with the commemoration of 150 years of the National Song 'Vande Mataram'. Citizens are encouraged to hoist the National Flag at home and to share their participation, including selfies, on the Har Ghar Tiranga Portal (www.harghartiranga.com).
Ministries and government bodies have opened their programmes with collective singing of the song, followed by flag distribution, rallies and tree planting.
Officers of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), led by Secretary Tanmay Kumar, sang the National Song together at Indira Paryavaran Bhawan, New Delhi. The Secretary then led a tree plantation. The Ministry said this reaffirmed its commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable development.
Offices under the Ministry's administrative control across the country are also singing the song collectively and carrying out plantation drives. The Ministry is encouraging its officers and employees to upload a 'Selfie with Tiranga' on the portal.
Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Power Manohar Lal inaugurated a Har Ghar Tiranga kiosk at the India Habitat Centre (IHC), New Delhi. The event was organised by the Housing and Urban Development Corporation Limited (HUDCO), a Navratna NBFC-IFC under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
HUDCO will distribute over 5,000 National Flags through the kiosk and its Regional Offices across the country. The venue was decorated in the tricolour, with flag-themed selfie points. Children from the Habitat Learning Centre sang Vande Mataram, after which the Minister gave them National Flags.
Interacting with the children, Manohar Lal said the Tiranga is far more than a national symbol and represents India's hard-earned freedom, unity, identity, dignity and the collective aspirations of its people. He urged young people to appreciate the cost of independence, won through many sacrifices, and to make the campaign a personal expression of patriotism. He also appreciated HUDCO's effort to take the campaign to citizens through its offices and outreach activities.
Indian Statistical Service (ISS) 2026 Batch officer trainees and officers and staff of the National Statistical Systems Training Academy (NSSTA), under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), held a Tiranga Yatra for the 150th year of Vande Mataram. It began with a recitation of the full version of the song.
Flagging off the Yatra, Additional Director General R. Rajesh said the spirit of Vande Mataram can be embodied, and tribute paid to freedom fighters, by diligently performing official duties for long hours as a dedication to Bharat Mata. Officers, contractual staff and other personnel joined the procession with slogans of 'Vande Mataram' and 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. The event ended with the National Anthem.
The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, held its programme at Kartavya Bhawan, New Delhi, on the eve of Independence Day.

The programme included a group photograph and selfies at a designated point.
Field offices, autonomous bodies and institutions under the Department, including the Central Institute of Petrochemicals Engineering and Technology (CIPET), also observed the campaign.
