Independence Day:
On Independence Day, the volunteers went to various schools and spread the message of respecting our National Flag, that is they should not be thrown down and stamped upon. Also, there was a programme especially for the volunteers to express their feelings for their Motherland. Read more about it here.
The message that was taken to the students was to reduce the use of plastic and paper National Flags as they are usually thrown down after use. In case, they have to be used, then the Flags have to be taken back and preserved safely. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs supports the same cause. Read more about it here.
