Armed Forces Flag Day History

After India’s independence, the government was of the opinion that there was a need to manage the welfare of its defence personnel. On August 28, 1949, a committee set up under the defence minister decided to observe a Flag Day annually on December 7. The main aim of observing a Flag Day was to distribute small flags to the general population and in return collect donations. The day highlights the fact that citizens of the country should take care of the families and dependents of the armed forces personnel who fight for the nation. Rajnath Singh Appeals People to Contribute to Armed Forces Flag Day Fund.
