On 28 August 1949, a committee was formed under the then Defense Minister of India. The committee decided that the flag day would be observed every year on 7 December. The initial idea behind celebrating Indian Armed Forces Flag Day was to distribute small flags to civilians and collect donations for soldiers in return. Over the years, this day is of great importance as it is believed that it is the responsibility of the common people of India to look after the families of the armed forces personnel who have fought the battles to protect the country.
