The Union Government has urged everyone to hoist flag at home on Independence Day (15 August). Various departments are actively involved to ensure the same happens.
The Assam Government has also announced that 80 lakh tricolour flags will flutter from every household of the state on 15 August. The Government said that the flags will be available in the co-operative stores across the state at a price of Rs. 18 each.

The company, making 15,000 to 18,000 flags per day, has so far delivered around 60,000 flags.
Debojani Das, a tailor in Noble Textiles, said“This is for the first time that I am stitching a national flag, but I am never tired of making them. I make around 500 to 550 flags per day.”
Anticipating an increase in demand for tri-colour, traders association is tying up with textile manufacturers across the country to increase the supply of the national flag. The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said that people are already visiting markets in large numbers to buy the national flag tricolour to join the campaign.
The trade body has asked its various state chapters to contact fabric manufacturers in their respective states and push them to make more tricolour flags.
