Home Dept reviews preparations for ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign

DIMAPUR: State Home Department held a review meeting on July 30 to finalise preparations for the “Har Ghar Tiranga” 2026 campaign, scheduled to be observed across Nagaland from August 9 to 17, 2026. The meeting was chaired by Home Commissioner Abhijit Sinha, and attended by senior officials from the Art & Culture, Youth Resources & Sports, Information & Public Relations, School Education, Home and Police departments.
Discussions were based on a communication from the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, outlining activities expected of state governments under this year’s campaign. Responsibilities were subsequently allocated across departments.
Directorate General of Police will lead the Tiranga Rally, a large scale procession involving students, youth groups, government personnel, armed forces representatives and community organisations, all carrying the National Flag in accordance with the Flag Code. The Art & Culture Department will oversee curated public displays of the Ministry of Culture’s digital exhibition at high footfall locations such as public squares, bus terminals and transport hubs.
Cycle and e bike rallies across districts and villages will be coordinated jointly by the Commissioner, Nagaland, and the Rural Development Department. Illumination and decoration of public buildings, bridges, gates and markets with Tiranga themes have been assigned to all administrative heads of departments, while patriotic artwork and quotes from freedom fighters on campuses will be coordinated by the Higher & Technical Education and School Education Departments. The Information & Public Relations Department will spearhead media outreach, encouraging citizens to upload a “Selfie with Tiranga” on the official campaign portal.
On the logistics front, the meeting noted that the state has placed a demand for 1.6 lakh National Flags, each measuring 30×20 inches, to be procured through the Department of Posts and received at a central hub in Dimapur under the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner. The DC’s office will coordinate demand aggregation across districts, while Police Headquarters, through the Additional Director General of Police (Administration), will arrange vehicle deployment to ensure smooth transit of flags. Distribution staff have been directed to maintain detailed records of flags received and issued, with any undistributed stock to be returned to the Home Department through respective DCs once the campaign concludes.
At the district level, Deputy Commissioners will oversee planning and execution, working in coordination with Municipal Administrators as nodal officers for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and Block Development Officers (BDOs) for village level implementation.
