The Indian national flag was designed in 1916 by Pingali Venkayya from Machilipatnam. The tricolour flag designed by him, with a charkha in the centre was adopted by the Congress committee in 1931 at Karachi.

On July 22, 1947, during an ad hoc meeting of the Constituent Assembly, it was approved as the National Flag of India with suitable modifications, wherein the Ashok Chakra was adopted in place of the charkha.

Our National Flag was desinged in 1916, but it was approved as our national flag in 1947

I didn't know that the tri colour was designed in 1916, here is a bit of history
DEAR All
Happy Independence Day in advance
THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN FLAG.



The flag that was first hoisted on August 7, 1906,
at the Parsee Bagan Square in Calcutta.




Called the 'Saptarishi Flag', this was hoisted in Stuttgart
at the International Socialist Congress held on August 22, 1907.




Associated with the names of Dr. Annie Besant and
Lokmanya Tilak, this flag was hoisted at
the Congress session in Calcutta during the
'Home Rule Movement'.




In the year 1921, a young man from Andhra presented
this flag to Gandhiji for approval. It was only after
Gandhiji's suggestion that the white strip and
the charkha were added.




This flag was suggested during the All India Congress
Committee session in 1931. However, the Committee's
suggestion was not approved.




On August 6, 1931, the Indian National Congress
formally adopted this flag, which was first hoisted
on August 31.




Our National Flag, which was born on July 22, 1947,
with Nehruji's words, "Now I present to you not only the Resolution,
but the Flag itself". This flag was first hoisted at the Council House
on August 15, 1947.


The man who designed Tiranga versatile genius Lt. Shri Pingali Venkayya.




Let's say loud we are INDIANS!!!

Let all of us get to-gather &
Let's Celebrate Our Freedom!
