The Flag Code of India is a set of guidelines that governs the display and usage of the national flag of India, known as the Tiranga. It outlines the specifications for the flag's dimensions, colors, and materials, ensuring that the flag is treated with respect and dignity. The code also details the proper procedures for hoisting, lowering, and disposing of the flag. The code was first adopted in 2002 and is based on the provisions of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950. It emphasizes the importance of the flag as a symbol of national pride and unity, encouraging citizens to honor it appropriately in various settings.
