- The day is observed to commemorate the Constituent Assembly’s adoption of the tricolour in its current form in 1947.
- The National Flag was first designed in 1923 by Pingali Venkayya.
- The initial flag design by Venkayya had only two colours — red representing Hindus in the country and green representing the Muslim population.
- MK Gandhi asked Venkayya to add a white colour representing peace and the remaining communities of India.
- He also suggested adding a running wheel to symbolise the progress of the Nation.
- The Constituent Assembly on July 22, 1947, approved this final version of flag.
