THE NATION IS INDEBTED

TO THE DESIGNER

OF THE TRICOLOR...

The national flag of India - the Tricolor. The national flag is the pride and glory of India which is
made of three colors. It is also a symbol of courage, valor, pride, aspirations, and purity of over
130 crore Indians. The initial form of the flag was not like this. It has undergone many changes
from time to time. Pingali Venkayya is the father of the original form of our tricolor which we
see today. Born on 2 August 1876 in a village near the Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh,

Pingali Venkayya was entrusted with the task of making the national flag by Mahatma Gandhi.
In 1921 he prepared the flag. Some changes were made to it in the year 1931. The national flag
of India was adopted in its original form on 22 July 1947.
