The National Flag may be hoisted or displayed on any day or occasion by a citizen, a private business, or an educational institution.
Earlier, Indian citizens could only hoist the National Flag on specific occasions. However, now there is no restriction on the timing of flag display.
The Government of India has launched an initiative called Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to commemorate and celebrate 75 years of independence as well as the prestigious history of India's people, culture, and achievements.
The goal of the programme is to encourage Indians worldwide to display the flag at home. Instead of just keeping it formal or institutional, the program's goal is to make the relationship with the national flag more personal.
The purpose of the initiative is to instil a sense of patriotism in the public and raise awareness of tricolour.
