The Ministry of Textiles is celebrating ‘Colours of Independence (Azadi Ke Rang)’ on the occasion of the 70th Independence Day. The Ministry has chosen 70 locations across the nation to infuse the passion of freedom and patriotism among Indians especially the youth from August 9-15.
Over 60 per cent of India’s population is youth and the Ministry of Textiles wants to relate to them the importance of this born freedom which has been achieved after years of struggle by our freedom fighters. On this occasion, textiles minister Smriti Irani congratulated the nation and urged the people to thank and honour our defence forces who continuously fight for the safety of India as we are safe in our homes only due to them.
A flex board of 12ft x 9ft, created with khadi canvas has been put up in a prominent place in each identified location for view of the general public to express their views for the Independence Day. People can participate through social media network also. The mounted fabric with ‘Colours of Independence’, as expressed by the public will be displayed for one week at various locations across the Nation.
