Prime Minister Narendra Modi in advising our countrymen to hoist the tricolour in a nationwide campaign of Har Ghar Tiranga, evokes a feeling of true patriotism in the country. At the stroke of midnight 1947 the first PM declared the nation's tryst with destiny, unfolding a path of independence to follow now 75 years old and continues to be a vibrant democratic nation in the company of other great democracies of the world. The country has made progressive strides in various fields whether it be nuclear, solar energy harnessing, medicine, engineering, green revolution in agriculture making us self reliant and net exporter, space technology and explorations, digital phones, etc.
We as a nation salute our martyrs and freedom fighters for all their sacrifices to gain independence. The Har Ghar Tiranga is a symbol of patriotism of every citizen of this country when we hoist these flags on every vintage point like our houses, business establishments, hospitals, army navy camps, schools and colleges etc. Let each one of us hoist the tricolour flag on every vantage point on August 13, 14, and 15 in honour of the PM's call to do so. Various independence exhibitions are to be held by SBI at the head offices both at Panaji and Margao branches and even in schools and colleges. Long live our independence and its symbol the tricolour.
