National Flag Day is observed on 22 July 2025.

Important Days | Dated: 22 Jul 2025

National Flag Day is observed on 22 July each year to commemorate the Indian Constituent Assembly's formal adoption of the Tiranga on 22 July 1947—just weeks before independence. This year, ceremonies honored the flag’s enduring significance for national unity, sovereignty, and multi-generational pride.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - The Indian national flag, known as the Tiranga (“tricolour”), features three horizontal bands—saffron, white, and green—and a navy blue Ashoka Chakra with 24 spokes. Its design was proposed by Pingali Venkayya and officially adopted on 22 July 1947, symbolizing courage, peace, fertility, and righteousness.
  • - The first unofficial national flag—displayed in Calcutta in 1906—evolved over decades. On 14 July 1947, a Flag Committee replaced the spinning wheel (charkha) with the Ashoka Chakra. It was formally approved and untabled in the Constituent Assembly on 22 July 1947.
