Citizens of the country along with Railway Employees relationship with the National Flag has always been more formal and institutional than personal. Bringing the National Flag to their home collectively, as the nation in the 75th year of independence, thus becomes symbolic of not o­nly an act of personal connection to the Tiranga but also an embodiment of their commitment to Nation-Building. The idea behind the initiative is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the employees and to promote awareness about the Indian National Flag.
