Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that if the countrymen fulfil resolutions for the development of the country in the next 25 years, India will become a Vishwa guru. “How will India be in 2047?

If we work on these core sectors and fulfill its goals in the next 25 years, then after 25 years, India will become Vishwa Guru,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah said while addressing an event in the national capital.
Urging every citizen to hoist the national flag at their houses during ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign (August 13 to 15), Amit Shah on Tuesday said the programme gives a message to the world about the determination of the people of India for the prosperity of the nation. He said the call for flag hoisting at each household under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav (AKAM) is also to tell the younger generation about the sacrifices made by the freedom fighters during the 90-year-long struggle and inculcate a feeling of patriotism among them.
“This campaign Har Ghar Tiranga is a message to the world that each Indian citizen will work unitedly for the next 25 years, according to the assertion of people who drafted the Constitution and expectation of the Constitution, for the development, accomplishment, security and carrying forward the Indian culture,” said Shah. He was speaking at ‘Tiranga Utsav’, an event held to celebrate the 146th birth anniversary of freedom fighter Pingali Venkayya, who designed the national flag. On the occasion, Shah also launched ‘Tiranga’ anthem and video. The family of Venkayya was felicitated at the event. A commemorative postage stamp in honour of Venkayya was also released.
Also, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday changed his profile picture on his social media handles to ‘Tiranga’ ahead of Independence Day celebrations in the country. “It is a special 2nd August today!

I have changed the DP on my social media pages and urge you all to do the same,” tweeted PM Modi on Tuesday.
