Flag Foundation Day Observed at Various Location of Jindal Steel & Power with Patriotic Fervor*
Joda/Barbil:(Correspondent):- Flag Foundation Day was celebrated with great patriotism and nationalist spirit across the Barbil, Kasia, and Tensa units of Jindal Steel and Power (JSP). The celebrations were a tribute to India’s cherished right to display the National Flag freely with dignity and pride, after a long legal fight led by Shri Naveen Jindal, Hon’ble Chairman of JSP and President of the Flag Foundation of India.
The National Flag was unfurled by Shri Purushotham M D, Unit Head of Barbil Pellet Plant, and Shri Pramod Patra, Head of Kasia and TRB Mines, Tensa, in the presence of employees and business associates at their respective locations.
The day commemorates the landmark Supreme Court verdict of 23rd January, 2004, which followed a decade-long legal battle fought by Shri Naveen Jindal in both the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court. The judgment upheld flying the National Flag as a fundamental right of Indian citizens under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. This ruling defined the Tiranga as a symbol of unity, pride, and allegiance to the nation.
The Flag Foundation of India, established by Shri Naveen Jindal and Smt. Shallu Jindal, Hon’ble Chairperson of Jindal Foundation plays a pivotal role in promoting the significance of the National Flag. Through initiatives such as organizing talks, publishing books, and hosting patriotic events like Tiranga Runs and monumental flag installations, the Foundation inspires countless Indians. So far 163 monumental flags have been installed across India, including 8 in Odisha, as part of this mission.
On this occasion, Shri Naveen Jindal urged every citizen to embrace the motto, “Har Ghar Tiranga – Har Din Tiranga”, and let the Tiranga inspire collective dedication to nation-building.
The event concluded with renewed enthusiasm and pride, as employees pledged to uphold the values represented by the Tiranga – a beacon of India’s unity in diversity.
