The Indian flag brings a sense of integrity and pride and children learn to identify it from a young age. Our tricolored flag has three equal horizontal bands – The top band is coloured saffron representing courage and sacrifice, the middle band is white representing truth and peace the bottom band is green representing prosperity and life. The Ashoka Chakra in the white band in navy blue in colourwith 24 equally spaced spokes represents righteousness and progress.

Drawing and colouring the Indian Flag is an interesting activity much loved by children. Here is one with coloured rice done by the students of std 3 to celebrate the spirit of independence.
