History of Indian National Flag Adoption Day:
The Indian National Flag, designed by Pingali
Venkayya, was first adopted by the Indian Constitution Assembly in a meeting on
22nd of July in the year 1947 that’s why it
is being celebrated every year since 1947 all over the India by the title
“Indian National Flag Adoption Day” on 22nd of
July. The present form of the national flag came into power when it was
officially declared as an “official flag of the Dominion of India” in the
meeting of Constitution Assembly.
- The Constituent Assembly was established in India before the independence. In a meeting at Constituent Assembly in the presence of Rajendra Prasad, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, C. Rajagopalachari, B.R. Ambedkar, K. M. Munshi, Sarojini Naidu and other members on 23rd of June in 1947, a flag was selected for independent India.
- According to the committee recommendation, the flag of Indian National Congress was decided to be adopted as Indian National Flag on 14th of July in 1947 by replacing the spinning wheel with Ashoka Chakra to denote dharma and law. Then it was adopted on 22nd of July in 1947 at Constituent Assembly after the proposal of Nehru for real flag (having horizontal tricolor upper saffron, middle white with Ashoka Chakra of blue navy color and lower dark green of equal proportions).
