National Campaigns; Pride or an Unforeseen Environmental Challenge

15th August, 2022' marks the 75th year of Independence in India. The Union government under the "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav" programme initiated a special campaign "Har Ghar Tiranga" celebrated from August 13th till 15th 2022 to encourage people of this nation to hoist the Tricolour at their homes. To make this celebration memorable the government recently amended the Flag Code of India, 2002 in December 2021. This amendment allowed for the tricolour to be made from polyester and machine-made to make it affordable to every household. To facilitate the availability of the flags, the government joined hands with the Department of Post and other small players and reached out to the masses. This new venture, started with a healthy motive, took pace and celebrated successfully throughout the country. This new amendment may have a certain impact on the environment post the campaign. The Research paper tries to find out what the new amendment says and how it can impact the environment.
