As Independence Day approaches, sales of the Indian flag in different shapes and sizes will be brisk and flying high. The Karnataka Khadi Gramadyog Samyuktha Sangha (KGSS-the authorised manufacturers and suppliers of the national flag for the entire country has reported a significant increase in the demand for the national flag this year.
The spurt in demand follows the government's declaration, allowing all citizens to hoist the national flag throughout the year, even in their homes.
Earlier, there used to be a high demand mostly for the larger flags mainly used in governement institutions. But, now a considerable number of medium- sized flags, used in schools, households, shops and the informal gatherings are enjoying a good demand.
There are nine standard sizes. There are also specifications concerning the type and size of flags, which are hoisted atop Rashtrapati Bhavan, Raj Bhavan, Vidhana Soudha and the headquarters of the defence forces and the police. The cloth is hand-spun and hand woven and produced by the Sangh's units in Garag and Bagalkot. The colors of flags have to be of the exact shade specified by KVIC and BIS with their length and width in the ratio 2:3.
