  • National Flag Adoption Day of India is observed on 22nd July every year. 
  • It is observed in the memory of the day – 22nd July 1947, a month before independence, when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Tricolor in its present form.
  • The Flag of the Union of India or the Tricolor as it is lovingly called represents not only the Union of India but also its integration, representing different religions and cultures of India.
  • The idea of a single Indian flag was first raised by the British rulers of India after the revolution of 1857 having western heraldic standards design.
  • Pingali Venkayya designed the national flag. In the initial flag designed by Venkayya, there was a spinning wheel, instead of the Ashoka Chakra.
