CM DR. Yadav announced that for the fourth consecutive year, the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign and Tiranga Yatras will be organised across the state on the occasion of Independence Day.

As part of Operation Sindoor, rakhis will be sent to armed forces personnel to express gratitude for their service. Schools will organise competitions related to the national flag, and there will be cultural programmes and exhibitions. The goal is to involve all sections of society, with a target to distribute 1 crore (10 million) national flags.

Dhar to Become a Global Textile Hub

CM Dr. Yadav stated that the Swadeshi movement will continue to grow in Madhya Pradesh. The state government is progressing toward the development of Bhopal and Indore as future metropolitan cities. The rail coach manufacturing unit near Bhopal and the PM MITRA Textile Park near Dhar will benefit the Indore metropolitan region.

Prime Minister Shri Modi will perform the Bhoomi-Pujan of the PM MITRA Textile Park in Dhar on August 25. With an investment of Rs. 2,000 crore in the ready-made garments sector, the project will generate employment for over one lakh youth, especially from tribal regions.

This initiative will not only promote the Swadeshi spirit but also ensure better prices for cotton-producing farmers in Dhar, Jhabua, Ratlam and Nimar regions. The garments produced here will also be exported globally.
